Bill Gates to Use Mad Scientist Weather Control Scheme for the Forces of Good
Posted in: Today's ChiliBill Gates, it seems, is set to become the world’s most lovable mad scientist. In a scheme fit for the world’s top supervillians, the former Microsoft head–and current full-time philanthropist–is reportedly concocting a plan to control the weather. Hurricanes, specifically.
Plans for Gates’s latest patent application have leaked out–plans which involve stopping hurricanes before they hit land. PC World explains it thusly,
The idea is for barges to pump cold water from the depths of the ocean to create a sort of road block for the hurricane. Since hurricanes cull power from the water’s warm temperatures, cooling the water could theoretically lessen the impact or outright dismantle a hurricane.
According to Intellectual Venture’s Lab’s Pablos Holman, the plan would go into effect when, “humans decide that we have exhausted all of our behavior changing and alternative energy options and need to rely on mitigation technologies.”
Interesting that this information comes out as Microsoft is holding its Worldwide Partner Conference in New Orleans. Everyone talks about the weather, but only the super rich do anything about it.
