Remember when you gay nerds laughed at Trump for ASKING if a hurricane could be stopped by a nuke?

Did you REALLY think he was the first to ask this question or ponder whether it would work?

Bet you feel all kinds of stupid nerd now, huh?

=====

"There was a time when SCIENTISTS AND GOVERNMENT AGENCIES were themselves
seriously considering the nuclear option. In a speech delivered at the 
National Press Club on October 11, 1961, Francis W. Riechelderfer, THE 
HEAD OF THE U.S. WEATHER BUREAU, said he could "imagine the possibility 
someday of exploding a nuclear bomb on a hurricane far at sea."

=====

If the head of the weather bureau could suggest such a thing, is it out of 
the realm of possibility that someone else, like Trump, could?

Yes... there have been calls for this for 6 decades, you stupid fucking 
fucked-up stupid shut-in welfare Queen.

"It's an appealing thought, especially when, during hurricane season, 
we're annually reminded of the immense destruction wrought by these 
storms. And it's probably why, every year for the past six decades, 
government agencies have received missives from concerned citizens, urging 
preemptive attacks against hurricanes using nuclear weapons."

"Could Hurricane Carla have been broken up, or greatly modified, or its 
course turned back to sea, by nuclear bombs?," asked an editorial in the 
Longview Daily News. "The suggestion that man-made explosions may effect 
[sic] hurricanes cannot be dismissed with the same degree of certainty on 
the basis of energy comparisons as was possible with earlier atomic 
weapons."

In other words, America now had the hydrogen bomb, which was a thousand 
times more powerful than the atomic bombs that had been dropped on Japan. 
Couldn't this energy be unleashed as a hurricane killer?

Jack W. Reed, A METEOROLOGIST AT SANDIA LABORATORY, thought so. In fact, 
he came up with the idea while studying the atmospheric effects produced 
by America's first detonation of a hydrogen bomb, which had lifted a 
massive column of air more than 20 miles into the sky.

Reed had the opportunity to present his research at various conferences, 
notably the 1959 symposium on the Plowshare Program-a government 
initiative to develop "peaceful" uses for nuclear weapons in science and 
industry. (Some of the most infamous Plowshare proposals included plans to 
use nukes to create an instant harbor on the coast of Alaska and to 
excavate a new Panama Canal.)

In his paper, Reed speculated that a submarine could travel underwater to 
penetrate the eye of a hurricane, where it would launch and detonate one 
or more nuclear missiles. The ensuing explosion would loft most of the 
relatively warm air in the hurricane's eye high above the storm into the 
stratosphere. The warm air would then be replaced by colder, denser air-
reducing the wind speed and weakening the storm.

Reed calculated that a 20 megaton explosion could slow a storm with 100-
knot peak winds to 50 knots.

But Reed didn't find any takers for his idea. The research would require 
setting off multiple nukes at several million dollars a pop. Government 
officials expressed concern that bombing hurricanes would conflict with 
U.S. efforts to end atmospheric nuclear tests.
