In the article “Trump suggested nuking hurricanes to stop them from hitting U.S.”, written by Jonathan Swan and Margaret Talev, discusses Trump’s recent statement. The article explains that during a hurricane briefing held at the White House, Trump said, “I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them?” which apparently left many people in the room baffled. However Trump did not come up with this idea. The article explains that this theory of a nuclear bomb being able to counteract convection currents has been resurfacing in the public, even though scientists have agreed it wouldn’t work. Another note from the article is that dropping a nuclear bomb into the eye of a hurricane would not be allowed under the terms of the Peaceful Nuclear Explosions Treaty between the U.S. and the former Soviet Union. Also the effects of a nuclear explosion would leave the environment with devastaing issues.
