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.”

And if you go and look at the temperatures after previous eruptions of the same volcano you will see a hotter than average year(s).

This article is complete BS. The water vapor would form more clouds which would actually COOL the earth. FYI, the earth ALMOST ALWAYS COOLS after a significant volcanic eruption, it does not warm.

Oddly enough it will cool the stratosphere in the winter leading to stronger polar vortexes for a few years—possibly.

According to search.

Tonga is like a fart when compared to Tambora shooting its wad in 1815 causing real climate change into 1816.

And when Mt. Pinatubo blew its stack in the Philippines all the corrupt US agencies said, “no the literal millions of tons of ash, chemicals, smoke, etc. had NO effect on the climate.”

Why? Because Rush Limbaugh used it to show why Climate Change as carped about was bullsh!t.
