People have suggested using a nuclear explosion for this. I believe "wouldn't work" and also "catastrophic mess even if it did" were the conclusions.

- danwills 3y agoYeah it certainly seems that there would be lots of things that could make things worse, like nuclear bombs! I did say 'air or temperature-change' on purpose though. After a while I did wonder if there's such a thing as a cold-bomb.. imagining that a warm-bomb followed by a cold-bomb at specifically the right location could potentially be disruptive enough? Large-scale fluid dynamics seems very complicated though.. you're probably right there's a good chance many possible interventions might just 'add fuel to the fire' so-to-speak. I still think it's interesting to think about though.
