Its a TV Trope-popularized scenario about a character's proposal/idea to solve a cataclysmic problem/crisis (giant monster attacks, a deadly pandemic,etc) with something that even more/equally cataclysmic solution. He/she know that the resulting collateral damage would be bad, but is better than waiting the said problem/crisis stopped by itself. Named after similar recurring situations in Godzilla franchise, particulary 1954 movie where Serizawa forced to use Oxygen Destroyer to kill first Godzilla.
