Bill Gates Patent Could Save Us From Another Hurricane Katrina (via Gizmodo)
Along with ex-Microsoft CTO Nathan Myhrvold, Gates has applied for five patents that call for a fleet of specially equipped vessels to be deployed in a hurricane’s path—vessels that are capable of reducing the surface temperature of the ocean by mixing in colder water from greater depths. This would reduce the heat-driven condensation that fuels hurricanes.

And what would be the ecological impact of this system? What ecosystems would we destroy for our own sake?

This is brilliant. Science fiction. Although I worry about unintended consequences I think it’s worth a shot.
