Just a final word, Gustav was nothing unusual for this part of the world. Apart from the pacific region, the gulf of Mexico is the most hurricane prone area in the world. Hurricanes have been and will continue to exist in these areas for years to come.

Sensationalism always tends to trump truth in the public eye.
Still a bump for the thread wouldn't hurt, so here it is.

So, to control a hurricane - especially it's strength and timing - we need to first control all of these other things. Effectively, we need to be able to control the entire world's weather and climate.

OzWeatherman, thank you for an informative, intelligent thread! With the season really heating up right now, I think it's important people understand the natural forces behind weather. When people choose to remain uninformed, they come up with the silliest ideas I've ever heard.
If I could applaud you I would; since I can't I'll have to settle for a star and a flag and perhaps a virtual cookie.
