The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world’s leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year-and-a-half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.
So, why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption last year that I – probably along with you -- had never heard of. The mass media ignored it because it took place 490 feet underwater in the South Pacific. Don’t take it from me, take it from NASA (and please do follow the link to see time lapse satellite imagery of the underwater eruption and subsequent plume of gasses and water injected into the atmosphere):
When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.
“We’ve never seen anything like it,” said Luis Millán, an atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. He led a new study examining the amount of water vapor that the Tonga volcano injected into the stratosphere, the layer of the atmosphere between about 8 and 33 miles (12 and 53 kilometers) above Earth’s surface.

I would not want to be in a ship above that when it went off! It looked like a nuclear explosion.
I heard about this the other day. It’s amazing how powerful nature is and how weak and puny man is.
Yes, and they want to tell us we control nature. So absurd.
More proof that the climate change fraudsters lie. Both Hillary Clinton and f/n Joe blamed Republicans for the heat wave. Shameless.

Cue chorus of ‘debunked’, ‘misinformation’, ‘false’, ‘racist’ from liberal media who desperately want one world government to lock down and control everyone.
No different from primitive tribes demanding sacrifices to propitiate rain gods during drought season.
Underwater volcano! That reminds me of a hilarious story about volcanoes and tomato plants. (Read that again. You will NEVER see those words together in the same sentence, probably for the rest of your life.)
So, what? forty years ago? an underwater volcano erupted off Iceland. A new island appeared out of nowhere. It didn’t have a bit of life on it and the international science community decided they’d study it to see how life gets to remotely located deserted islands. The international community agreed to work together to isolate the island. Nobody not in the project was allowed to visit...ever. So you’ve got three navies and coast guards guarding this island. Then the guy running the show gets a message. “A plant has appeared on the island.” He jumps on a plane, travels thirteen thousand miles, gets on a ship for an eight-hour ride, gets to the island. The plant is big, it’s beautiful and he says, “Wait a minute! Something’s wrong here. It’s a tomato plant.” He pokes around and discovers the plant has sprung forth from a pile of poop. Yep, one of those “scientists” had a BLT, pooped on the island, and ruined the project. The lead guy scoops up the plant and the poop and they scientific community keep the secret for thirty-five years.
Great find. Thank you.
“I heard about this the other day. It’s amazing how powerful nature is and how weak and puny man is.”
Bears repeating. Mother Nature can snuff us out in a matter of seconds if she wanted to.
The “party of Science” that can’t define what a female is…
Lol. Did this pooper move to SF?…
Of course, facts contrary to a political narrative, like the vulcano, will go unnoticed in the media.
A nuclear explosion, compared to this volcanic eruption from the sea floor, is like a ladyfinger firecracker held between thumb and forefinger as it went off, and the effects of a Hiroshima-sized nuclear bomb.
The sheer volume of the water thrown up into the stratosphere will take some time to drift low enough to fall back to earth as rain.
But not nuclear winter. Water vapor is actually pretty transparent to the sun’s rays. Unlike silica dust or particulate carbon.
Nukes are puny in comparison
That underwater explosion released 61 megatons of energy.
What’s the insane plan by the Left to remove/stop water vapor from the air ? LOL
Imagine what a Yellowstone eruption yield was…
Or an airplane. I never heard of this.
Here in Texas it is called summer.
Most likely explanation is that it’s Summertime.
