Weather theory is important to study if we are ever to control our weather or stop the vicious storms like Hurricane Katrina and Rita. As far-fetched as that seems, it is not impossible really. However it may take one heck of a lot of power to do so. But we do not have to compete with the Hurricane pound for pound in fact we can simply modify one of its components. Like fighting a wildfire; if you take away the heat, fuel or oxygen it dies. Each Hurricane is a simple system and has basic components it needs to grow from a tropical depression to a tropical storm and then into a full-fledged Hurricane. Knowing this we can stop, steer or control Hurricanes. How so you ask?

Different percentages of gas in the atmosphere will act differently under different temperatures. Different temperatures at different altitudes affect the winds aloft in different ways. Different surface temperatures on the ocean will affect the surface winds. Different wave actions will affect the surface winds. Any single change will interact differently and you'll change weather patterns. A volcanic vent on the floor of the Pacific Ocean will impact the surface temperature of the water and therefore the weather patterns. This could lead to more severe weather, which will appear to us to be unpredictable, but actually it will be more predictable, we may not like the prediction but we can know the outcome.

Since Hurricanes form using specific criteria, change or eliminate one of them and you have either weakened it, stopped it or caused it to change direction, formation or intensity. Think on this, as there has to be a way.
