Tonga Eruption Blasted Unprecedented Amount of Water Into Stratosphere [NASA said a 2022 volcanic eruption could cause earth's surface to warm for the next several years]

I’d like to think that people are smart enough to figure out that the climate Nazis are crying “ wolf.” Even so, Nazis can do a lot of harm in the interim.

“Will it be raining fish?”

Of course! That’s how we get Sharknados!

“The vast amount of material blasted upwards by the volcanic eruption rapidly rose to its maximum height and expanded outward to create an umbrella-shaped cloud more than 186 miles (300km) wide. The momentum generated by the blast caused the material in the plume to continually “overshoot” into the stratosphere, generating fast-moving concentric ripples known as gravity waves, a little like dropping pebbles in a pond. The lightning appeared to “surf” these waves and expanded outward, in a pattern of 155 mile-wide (250km) rings.”

Average stratosphere temperature is -60F. That water vapor is ice crystals now, reflecting sunlight away.

Sharknados? I am climbing up on my roof with my twice barrel shotgun.

Butt, butt, butt.......

This information has been published and available for over one year and Kerry and the other Climate Changers never made a single reference to it in all their publications. It was the worst eruption in 1200 years, it pumped 58 Billion tons of vapor and ash into the atmosphere and not a word has been mentioned by the Climate Changers. When Tongo erupted it shook the entire Planet, every Seismic receiver around the Earth recorded the eruption.

Did humans cause the eruption? Trump?

CO2 is plant food so it is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse growers actually BUY the stuff and run it in their greenhouses.

No butts about it!

But eating bugs and driving battery powered skateboards will appease Gaia.

Bill Gates already has a vaccine for water vapor

58,000 Olympic sized swimming pools sounds literally like a drop in the bucket

Glad it’s not just me. I was totally underwhelmed that figure also. I would think my lake could easily fill more than 58,000 swimming pools, but I would think such a historic event as described here would fill my lake many times over…

The dims will want to go back to human offerings to volcanoes, I guess.
Wonder who they'd choose to throw in.

[TangoLimaSierra]

From what I've read CO2 isn't even a green house gas.
If it goes up it lags behind temp increases.

Yep, I've been pointing this out for years.

[TangoLimaSierra]

Will it be raining fish?

Yes, but it will be minnowmal.

There are actually several “greenhouse” gasses. such as water VAPOR (not clouds) CO2, methane for example. Water VAPOR is BY FAR the largest contributor to a warm atmosphere.

CO2 is only about 0.04% of the atmosphere. Water vapor varies, but can be approximated at 4% of the atmosphere. So it’s TWO ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more prevalent that C02 *and* it’s a more powerful greenhouse gas.

Water vapor, by the way, is a natural combustion byproduct of hydrogen. So ... anything that burns hydrogen is FAR from green by definition ;-)

Everybody’s gone surfin’, surfin’ HungaTongaHua..

And yet, she didn’t start pulling off her clothes.

Oh no! I’m distraught at this news. All of the progress we have made in the struggle against climate change and now this! We will have to work much harder and sacrifice much much more to overcome this setback.
