This is why we need to ban hurricanes.

Nah, we gotta nuke the hurricanes.

It's a win-win. We destroy the hurricanes, and we also reduce our nuclear stockpile. I can see no flaws in this proposal. Checkmate, peaceniks!

I know you're joking, but I wanted to take this opportunity to make a side note. Nuclear test ban treaties have been effective enough for long enough that we don't have to scavenge old shipwrecks for low background radiation steel anymore. That's a huge success, and we shouldn't squander it.

What if to stop the hurricanes, we put our nuclear stockpile underneath a steam engine.
