Summary: Explorer and adventurer Josh Bernstein investigates whether scientists will ever be able to tame one of Nature's most destructive forces: hurricanes.

Josh investigates the cutting edge science that could one day be used to weaken or divert hurricanes, and uncovers the fascinating- and sometimes sinister- history of weather manipulation. He also explores the massive political and moral dilemmas which playing God with weather would bring.
