There's no one who can stop hurricanes with nuclear weapons
It was reported on the 26th Beijing time that US President trump had repeatedly suggested that the United States explore the use of nuclear bombs to prevent hurricanes from hitting the United States.
It is reported that trump has repeatedly put forward this proposal at private meetings. According to a source present at the meeting, "at a briefing on hurricanes at the White House, trump said, & lsquo; Oh, I see. That's what happened. Why don't we use nuclear weapons? They began to form off the coast of Africa. When they crossed the Atlantic Ocean, we dropped a bomb in the eye of the hurricane and destroyed it. Why can't we do that& rsquo;'
It is reported that Trump's proposal "surprised" the officials who issued the hurricane briefing.
A senior government official said that Trump's proposal is not worth worrying about and will only provide material for the saying that the president is crazy.
Experts point out that the idea of using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes is full of danger.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a nuclear explosion may not even change the path of the storm, and 'the released radioactive dust will soon move with the wind, affect land areas and cause devastating environmental problems.'
In addition, doing so would also violate the peaceful nuclear explosions treaty ratified by the United States in 1990.
