[QUOTE="Laodicean60, post: 77562379, member: 450284"] I don't want to get in your Tit for Tat but I'd like to inform you. He didn't bomb the hurricane and maybe some scientist educated him. But I do remember all the fear talk of the red button and thought it was crazy. "The big picture: Trump didn't invent this idea. The notion that detonating a nuclear bomb over the eye of a hurricane could be used to counteract convection currents dates to the Eisenhower era, when it was floated by a government scientist. The idea keeps resurfacing in the public even though scientists agree it won't work. The myth has been so persistent that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. government agency that predicts changes in weather and the oceans, published an online fact sheet for the public under the heading "Tropical Cyclone Myths Page." The page states: "Apart from the fact that this might not even alter the storm, this approach neglects the problem that the released radioactive fallout would fairly quickly move with the tradewinds to affect land areas and cause devastating environmental problems. Needless to say, this is not a good idea." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.axios.com/2019/08/25/trump-nuclear-bombs-hurricanes[/URL] [/QUOTE]
