A hurrican can be broken up with a strong laser from a weather satellite

A hurrican can be broken up with a strong laser from a weather
satellite via a remote control from somebody on earth. Nobody has to be
in harms way.

That laser either circles the hurrican and keeps it in place till it
loses strenght in the ocean or it cuts through it and breaks it up in
less powerful storms. It is also possible to push a hurrican away from
land with such a laser.

Those NASA and Homeland Security "scientists" and officials take home a
huge salary but they don't come up with that solution? What is the
matter with them? Am I the only one thinking or what?

A laser is light and light travels in a straight line so it can't circle a
hurricane. There is also the problem of a laser pushing anything especially
clouds.

Not to mention sheer absurdity of a laser with massive energy
requirements being pointed at a storm system containing mind buggering
amounts of energy. I'm sure that a laser could proscribe a circle with
mirors or whatever, but what the point of that would be has yet to be
explained by babbling Babs.

Might as well be Frank William Abagnale, no?

That's been the subject of science fiction for many decades. The problem, of
course, is that in order to test the theory, you need a super-strong laser
mounted on a satellite. Either we don't have lasers that strong mounted on
satellites, or their existence is classified. Either way, they're not likely
to be involved in any public testing of anti-hurricaine procedures.

A satellite is kind of far away to shoot at a hurricane. Why not mount it
on a ship?

Have you calculated the energy needed to create such a super laser
beam?

It can also be broken up by simply sprinkling pixie dust in its path.

You're an idiot.
An innumerate one.
The most powerful continuous laser around is on the order of a megawatt.
The energy feeding a hurricane is about that every 30 meters square.
