Method for controlling hurricanes
A new method aims to control hurricanes by increasing the temperature in their eye and outflow. This is done by using many jet planes equipped with afterburners to heat the air inside the hurricane. Even small temperature changes can significantly affect the hurricane's direction and strength. The goal is to reduce the damage caused by hurricanes, which can be extremely costly and destructive. Previous attempts at weather modification have had mixed results, but this approach focuses on temperature manipulation instead.
