Nuclear Bomb Under Ocean: The outrageous and highly controversial suggestion put forward by an American-based scientist has ignited a furious international storm. The strategy is to detonate an enormous nuclear bomb deep under the sea to slow down global warming — an action many scientists and greens are judging to be both unsafe and irresponsible.

The Idea: Radical Climate Intervention
The hypothesis of the scientist is that an explosion in the deep ocean using nuclear means would trigger geoengineering processes to chill the Earth. The explosion would inject aerosols and particles into the high atmosphere, reflecting some fraction of the sun’s light and thus reducing global temperatures. This process attempts to replicate the cooling effect experienced after major volcanic eruptions, which previously have lowered global temperatures temporarily.

The Environmental Concerns
While the concept sounds science fiction-like, the potential is eerily real. The scientists warn that detonating an underwater nuclear bomb has the capability to cause catastrophic and irreversible harm in the form of:

Marine life mass extinction

Radioactive pollution with long-term consequences

Disruption of oceanic flows and systems

Unpredictable atmospheric effect

Such a step may have a ripple effect of environmental issues tenfold more severe than the problem it’s trying to solve.

Legal and Ethical Barriers
Nuclear weapons explosions — even for climate engineering — would contravene a great many international treaties, including the Partial Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. The ethical implications are just as troubling. The majority believe that using destructive means as a solution to environmental issues is not just ill-advised but unethical.

Scientific and Public Reactions
The majority of the scientific community has turned down the proposal as unsafe and unrealistic. Climate scientists emphasize the importance of sustainable substitutes like renewable energy, carbon cutting, and reforestation. Social media response by the people has been strongly negative with the majority labeling the idea as “reckless” and “absurd.”
