Straightforward

I saw on the weather channel this the hurricane season is merely one in a cycle that has repeated itself for many, many years. We're in a part of the cycle (for the next few years) that promises to have multiple hurricanes hitting the US within the season.

two things:

1) global warming is partly responsible for the number and strength of these storms and other catastrophic weather events around the planet. We are partly responsible for global warming because of airplanes, factory  smokestacks, auto exhaust and other emissions that eat holes in the ozone layer, etc., etc.

2) I've written several blogs on the impact of Hurricane Wilma on the Florida Keys, a personal story of my daughter's family. The media coverage sucks: first it takes on a "Chicken Little"  attitude, the sky is falling, the sky is falling, run and hide...followed by the failure to communicate the dangerous, soggy, difficult aftermath.

I say that it's getting out of hand. If we can put a man on the moon, why

can't we figure out a way to prevent a hurricane from becoming so large?  Can't we fly some contraption in there to break it up?
