1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Climate Change and Hurricane Correlation and Strategy Act . 2. Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) According to reports dated August 24, 2019, President Trump suggested the use of nuclear weapons to disrupt hurricane paths. Specifically, the President stated, I got it. I got it. Why don’t we nuke them? They start forming off the coast of Africa, as they’re moving across the Atlantic, we drop a bomb inside the eye of the hurricane and it disrupts it. Why can’t we do that? . (2) The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the United States Government agency that monitors and researches weather patterns and changes, stated During each hurricane season, there always appear suggestions that one should simply use nuclear weapons to try and destroy the storms. 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. . (3) Nuclear weapons are the most powerful weapons known to mankind. A nuclear blast radius carries exponentially damaging radioactive fallout, as demonstrated by atmospheric tests conducted by the United States in the 1950s and 1960s in the Pacific and Nevada Test Range. (4) According to the Director of National Intelligence and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, climate change remains a critical national security threat. (5) Researchers found that if little is done to constrain greenhouse gas emissions, and the world warms by 3 ºC to 4 ºC this century, then hurricane rainfall could increase by a third, while wind speeds would be boosted by as much as 25 knots. (6) Stronger hurricanes are intensifying more rapidly than they were 30 years ago due to climate change, according to recent research. (7) Increasing numbers of hurricanes are a function of climate change and must be addressed through serious and
