By Dan Vergano, USA TODAY
Good news, folks. Microsoft founder Bill Gates has turned his attention to controlling the weather.
Five U.S. Patent and Trade Office patent applications, made public on July 9, propose slowing hurricanes by pumping cold, deep-ocean water in their paths from barges. If issued, the patents offer 18 years of legal rights to the idea for Gates and co-inventors, including climate scientist Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Hurricanes, most famously demonstrated by the deadly intensification of Hurricane Katrina before its landfall in 2005, draw strength from warm waters on the ocean's surface. The patents describe a system for strategically placing turbine-equipped barges in the path of storms to chill sea surfaces with cold water pumped from the depths.

First requested by Gates and colleagues last year, the patents describe methods "not limited to atmospheric management, weather management, hurricane suppression, hurricane prevention, hurricane intensity modulation, hurricane deflection" to manage storms

I think his plan will mess with the natural order of things.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843291.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843291.page GMT Re:Bill gates it a super hero. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843296.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843296.page GMT Bill Gates is a super hero.
I think it is a clever idea but I doubt there are enough barges in the world to pump sufficient cold water to stop even a small hurricane.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843520.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843520.page GMT Bill Gates is a super hero.
Wait, wasn't this Sean Connery's evil plan in The Avengers movie (aka the Emma Peel and some other Guy Movie).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843539.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843539.page GMT Bill Gates is a super hero.
No one knows how much craziness we have inflicted on the planet yet, so instead of doing the smart thing and observing more, we are going to install some sort of giant washing machine in the ocean... I hope that asteroid hits only bureaucrats and guys like Bill gates.

Bill gates is still a bad guy in my book, regardless of him sharing the leftover wealth with some of the poorer people in the world. Bill knows there is a lot more where that cam from, and if he is going to rule the world a hundred years from now as a brain in a jar, he needs to get the good publicity now. Brain in jars never seem to do well in the "Not pure evil" department. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843698.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843698.page GMT Re:Bill Gates is a super hero. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843762.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843762.page GMT Re:Bill Gates is a super hero.

Seriously though the old one was much better, the new one looks like a 12 year old girl having a nervous break-down... not the most soothing image.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843913.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/248484/843913.page GMT Re:Bill Gates is a super hero.

It actually makes sense with some drum and bass playing though (insert funny hat here).
