In August 2022, a NASA report on the January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai stated, “The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface…. The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano… could remain in the stratosphere for several years.”

“volcanic eruption could cause earth’s surface to warm for the next several years]“

Just Great, the lying bastards will use it for their climate emergency. Just in time we are screwed.

So it’s not CO2, it’s H2O?

From the article;

This looping video shows an umbrella cloud generated by the underwater eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano on Jan. 15, 2022. The GOES-17 satellite captured the series of images that also show crescent-shaped shock waves and lightning strikes.

Will it be raining fish? I mean it to be a real question, but expect several LOLs and groaners.

Alert John Kerry! We must eliminate water vapor from the atmosphere!

[Karliner]

Remember Mt St Helen’s? Gonna be the end of the world as we know it. The planet has amazing ways to compensate without us making lame predictions.

Damn gas cars and stoves caused the volcano to blow.

God-made global warming?

Water is circulated all the time in the air and oceans and the water on land. The stuff you want to worry about is sulfur and nitric acid raining down after say a meteor hits the Yucatan area by Central America like one did when it wiped out the dinosaurs. It hit an area that contained lots of sulfur.

This is why Joe Bastardi is my favorite weatherman. He is a strong proponent that ocean bed volcanos heating the ocean water is a main influencer on the weather. This may well be why the summer in my area is hot with severe drought conditions marking a significant departure from previous years. I believe my area is 7 or eight inches below the average rainfall.

So they are saying that it probably spewed more stuff into the atmosphere than TRILLONS of dollars worth of carbon credits could remedy?

58,000 Olympic sized swimming pools sounds literally like a drop in the bucket; I wonder how many orders of magnitude they are off by if this is really of consequence.

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

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

Did humans cause the eruption? Trump?

[Darksheare]

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

Bill Gates already has a vaccine for water vapor

[TangoLimaSierra]

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

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.

The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano, on the other hand, could remain in the stratosphere for several years.

"... could remain ..."

Oh No! There is a possibility water vapor will remain in the air! This has never happened before in Human history! It will never come down! NEVER!

... unless it rains.
