I am interested in is there away we could stop this catastrophe from happening at the early stages. I.E. some sort of concussion bomb when it is out in the middle of the ocean to disturb its momentum. Please enlighten me!!!

yes, but the Republicans keep stopping any effort to do so.....The Dems had a nuke ready to deploy but Trump stopped it's launch at the last second.
We only have 9.2 years left.

Well, this jumped the tracks pretty quickly.

Any effort in messing with this thing would be blocked by the environmentalist. Just consider all the fish, snails, and algae that would be disturbed. Heck it would be as bad as.... as... as a Hurricane!

It would be useless.

Your garden variety thunderstorm actually much more powerful than any bomb the US or anyone else has in their arsenal or could ever produce. The typical tropical system is comprised of hundreds of thunderstorms, all of them at the core of the hurricane are more violent than any we will see on land. So a tropical system would easily survive any attempt to destroy it or change it's course.

In addition, while they are very destructive, they are also a very important mechanism in balancing out the energy distribution on our planet. If we could actually influence tropical systems, messing with Ma Nature in that way would likely lead to WAY bigger problems down the road. Best thing we can do as humans would be to be much better prepared to deal with them. They are certainly NOT going away!

so as humans with all of our manmade might, we are pretty much a non starter when it comes to what occurs naturally.

Gee, I'm disappointed. No-one suggested towing an iceberg into the eye of the storm.
Hey it's all that warm water that feeds a hurry cane, ain't it?:wink:

And the Saudis have been considering towing an iceberg from Antarctica to Jeddah via the Red Sea for fresh water, no?

The Red Sea would probably be better than going through the Strait of Hormuz; might get zapped by the Iranians going through the Strait of Hormuz!
That and the Hejaz (the most populous region in Saudi Arabia) is on the Red Sea.

Just ask NASA - They have been saying this since the 50's, internally. They just don't want to be part of the political BS that surrounds "Climate change".

Here's breaking news: THE CLIMATE IS ALWAYS CHANGING!

We arrogant humans are just lucky dolphins didn't get opposed thumbs. They would be running the whole show instead and we would be in their zoos.
