While nature abhors a vacuum, I’m certain nature is indifferent to Helen Thomas. When I said Kansas, I meant all of it; thousands of square miles. The sun is heating the Earth unequally. (The Obama administration has complained bitterly about the inequality of heating, but has no connections with God. The Pope refused to discuss it with Obama.) So the area across which you’d have to equalize the pressure is HUGE...monumental...GIGANTIC. The only thing approaching this scale is the National Debt; the equalization of which will produce a different sort of storm. Any affects we humans could introduce would be, necessarily, human in scale. The area we’re talking about is national in scale.
The political solutions are: Obama didn’t know about the pressure difference until he read about it in the paper, just like you. The pressure difference happened a long time ago, what difference now does it make? It’s Bush’s fault.
On reconsideration: Nature has intervened to protect Helen Thomas from rape, conversation and snuggles.
Imagine your tornado was instead an iceberg. The iceberg is formed due to the failure of global warming to keep the ice from melting. If you were to modify the USS Missouri with a huge, spring-loaded Samurai sword so that it could, in one swipe, knock the head off the iceberg, what would happen? It would simply bob up again. The same is true about anything you do to a tornado. The cause of the iceberg is the huge cold zone at the poles, which will continue to produce icebergs. The cause of the tornado is the huge imbalance in pressure (heat) that is spread across hundreds of miles. The tornado, like the iceberg, is a local manifestation of a global phenomenon. Disrupting, or even destroying one iceberg or one tornado does nothing to remedy the global situation that produced them.
