Scientists are cooking up a madcap scheme to eradicate hurricanes using underwater bubbles. The plan involves creating a 'bubble net' from a pipeline of compressed air strung between two ships or buoys and submerged 300 feet below the ocean surface. In theory, the bubbles would take cold water up to the surface, replacing the warm water that acts as a fuel for hurricanes and tropical storms. One way of deploying this system in the real world to fight powerful storms could be across the 135-mile Yucatan Channel between Cuba and Mexico, experts say. This serves as a natural 'choke point' for storms on their way to land across the Gulf of Mexico and the bubbles could see the hurricane dissipate before it makes landfall. The bizarre proposal has divided experts who are debating its effectiveness, but advocates maintain it may save countless lives, if given funding. A similar bubble-based solution has been using in Norway's fjords for a number of years to prevent the bodies of water freezing over.
