Another way to think of it is that a hurricane is nature's way of transferring heat energy from the lower latitudes to the middle latitudes. One wonders what would happen if we somehow did manage to keep hurricanes from forming, how it might subtly effect the oceans.

Going the other way, hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical disturbances often account for a nontrivial part of an area's rainfall. What happens when we remove that from the system?
