Meteorologist burns down Fox News host who is 'for' nuking hurricanes

‘Science says we can’t’: Meteorologist burns down Fox News host who is ‘for’ nuking hurricanes



Fox News host Brian Kilmeade on Monday expressed support for the idea of using nuclear bombs on hurricanes.

Kilmeade made the remarks after Axios reported that President Donald Trump had first floated the idea.

“Does President Trump want to nuke hurricanes? The news going viral this weekend and he just spoke out about it,” host Katie Pavlich announced.

“I am for that,” Kilmeade said before taking a commercial break.

Hurricanes work with nature to move heat. So hurricanes are kind of required in the atmosphere as transference of heat in different areas of the map.”

“Even though we would like to stop these things,” [meteorologist Janice Dean] added, “at this point in time, science says we can’t.” - Raw Story

"That's what you are right, a meteorologist?" (Just substitute the science concentration).

Then I wait.

When they say no, "I'm a realtor or sell cars or whatever," I say oh crap. So you don't know any better than I do and I at least took meteorology, then walk away.

Off-camera, Kilmeade immediately separated from tRump's ample ass, unpuckered, and used two fresh towels to wipe all the brown stains from his lying lips.

that they were going to try to summon the dead.

They did not spend much time wondering what that had to do with hurricanes.

that they always wear those hideous blue suits and those brown shoes that look like the toe is scuffed? I know, it's the fashion, but it is ugly, imo.

have more energy than tens of thousands of nuclear bombs.
All you would get is a radioactive hurricane.

The amount of sunshine that reaches the earth every minute has the energy equivalent of many multiples of all the nuclear bombs ever made, combined.

A hurricane is a brutal force, heck even a small tornado packs unbelievable power. Like you pointed out, setting off a nuke in the eye of a hurricane will insure only one thing, deadly radiation exposure for hundreds of miles around the storm, potentially millions could die from that exposure.
