Papers discussing artificial ocean cooling to weaken tropical cyclones are published. Cooling sea surface temperatures by 2.5ºC would weaken and reduce the damage of a tropical cyclone but lack a practical method. This is a cost and logistic capable autonomous solution.
The ocean thermocline provides a source of cold water. Storm waves provide energy.
Across the globe, people with disabilities—particularly those in underserved and climate-stricken regions—are too often excluded from the mainstream of technological innovation. When catastrophic floods struck southern Brazil, children with disabilities faced obstacles at every turn: inaccessible evacuation routes, inadequate rescue protocols, and little support to share their experiences.
