Nuclear Bombs on Ocean Floor May Be Causing Climate Shifts — Alarming New Study Reveals

A radical arXiv study proposes detonating an 81-gigaton nuclear bomb under ocean basalts to accelerate CO₂ removal. Though theoretically massive carbon capture, risks include radiation, marine collapse, and legal hurdles. Critics call it “a very bad idea”—rock pulverization may not work, and fallout is unpredictable. Real progress lies in safer methods—forests, renewable energy, tested carbon capture technologies. The proposal demands peer review, regulation, and public scrutiny before even a whisper of deployment.
