How to create an artificial hurricane?
Imagine a civilization capable of interstellar travel and building Dyson structures, so technological advancement and energy acquisition are not a concern.
They found a planet that is very Earth like. And by Earth-like I mean it orbits a star similar to the sun, with an orbit similar to Earth's. It has the same axial tilt, and even has a hurricane belt of its own around the same latitudes on its northern hemisphere. On that belt sits some resource the hypothetical civilization wishes to extact.
There is intelligent life on the area where the unobtanium is, though, so they wish to relocate the natives. The engineers have come to the conclusion that while land or air vehicles could help move a few millions of locals within a few months, a hurricane could do the job in less than a week, and with much less lip.
How could such a civilization kickstart a really strong hurricane?
