What if the atmospheric changes rendered by last year&#8217;s hyper-active hurricane season resulted in conditions not conducive for hurricanes?  The hurricane experts who are predicting a horrible season this year don&#8217;t yet understand the science behind this, so, of course, they aren&#8217;t in a position to accurately predict or explain the phenomenon.  How long would these atmospheric conditions last?<\/p>\n<p>Could we generate a man-made innoculation which could be achieved without the death, destruction, and expense of an actual storm season like last year&#8217;s?  Think of it as the polio vaccine for weather.  Would we have to have a March of Umbrellas or a March of Plywood like we had the March of Dimes to help fund the eradication of polio?  (Think how amazing that was &#8212; we wiped polio from the face of the earth (for all practical purposes) and have been able to change the focus of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marchofdimes.org\/\">March of Dimes <\/a>from an effort to find a cure or prevention for polio to curing\/preventing other childhood diseases &#8212; I think premature birth is the current focus.)<\/p>\n<p>Innoculating the weather.
