@Kinnison this is the part that caught my attention, if those people realized what it takes to do that maybe they wouldn’t say it ;
“ “An average hurricane’s life cycle burns through the energy of roughly 10,000 nuclear bombs,” says Cappucci, “The idea that we can even influence something like that, never mind direct it, is just so outlandish that it’s almost, sadly, funny.”
well technically we have influenced Hurricanes with global climate change. The Gulf of Mexico is so hot that Hurricanes are reaching the maximum severity that is mathematically possible
But more at a general level, not as at specific level telling a Hurricane where to make landfall
otherwise, why has there never been a direct hit to palm Beach and Mar-a-lago?
