I'd like someone to prove/disprove this. Have a plane drop as much liquid nitrogen as it can carry right into the path of the hurricane, they feed on warm water, surely this would at least put a dent in it right?

The systems at work are so so massive, that you’d have to have an entire fleet of planes making constant drops to even have a minuscule effect, and who knows if that will do anything anyway.

Hurricanes happen. The best we can do is have an early warning system and focus on rebuilding when they hit

Read something where president said he will use nukes to blow up hurricanes


Link?

It ls a story from The Hill, Supposedly an unnamed staffer heard Trump say hey why don't we nuke hurricanes as they come of the coast of Africa. Maybe he said it but probably was a joke or Trump didn't say that at all.

Next level warfare against China: Next time there's a major Typhoon headed to China, nuke the bastard and deliver radiation


Just dumb enough to work

Loving the thought of President Camacho trying to dissipate a hurricane by nuking it, only to irradiate the storm and giving the gulf coast a nice dose of ionizing radiation

You can nuke a hurricane. Then you can cause nuclear fallout AND a massive storm. That’s the perfect storm.

I don’t remember the article, but I believe some University professor had a small scale test that worked really well with these tubes that would be placed in the ocean. As the hurricanes travel across the Atlantic, the water would flow through the tubes and somehow come out the other end about 30 degrees cooler or something. No idea what the method is or how feasible it would be to put those all over the ocean, but he said it could have an effect of reducing a category 4 storm to a category 1 which is quite impressive.

Really? Let’s see the “meeting minutes” from a national security council meeting. Go ahead and link that for us.

And don’t waste my time playing stupid on GND.

I like how they have anonymous sources, yet in the article they type:

Trump says "blah blah blah"

as if they are quoting him directly.


The silver lining to dumb fricks like you is that your children are chopping their dicks off and calling themselves girls or just deciding to be regular homosexuals. Either way, your inferior genetics will not be passed on.
