Ah my friend you are still thinking small! Why not use ELF and wrench off the Van Allen belts,
and then release the atmosphere into space. This would also have the effect of
boiling off the oceans(allowing a nice clean pave after). If we're lucky, the loss of
the atmosphere might set up some orbital wobbling which could trigger
irregularities with the moon and then it might blow up, spin out of control into
the earth, etc.
Although I'd still feel better about things if we could collapse some outer layers
of the sun and cause it to go nova. I'm sure the military is working on it.
