air pressure wave from Tonga Eruption was measured by airport air pressure sensors as it crossed the US mainland.

The resultant chemistry was the production of natural acid rain

See...its natural events like this that the global warming/climate change nuts ignore. Why? Its not like you can hide these upheavals. The 2021 La Palma eruption lasted for a whole 4 months and it was insane how much gasses and particulates that it put into the air. It was the biggest news the whole time. The media just forgets all about it.

Here come half a dozen Fed agencies dropping fines and regs on the volcano for greenhouse emissions.

Earth farts just might be more important than those from cattle.

OK class... what gad is THE most powerful and active greenhouse gas?

Answer: water vapor.

No real mention of that in the article.

Quick!

Tax volcanos.

Ban them!

Regulate them from erupting again.

Lock us all down just in case.

Wrong. Only selfish, racist, America First, ICE vehicle operating Republicans can change the Stratosphere. Geologists are just haters, like Biologists.

The water vapor is a strong “greenhouse gas”, much stronger than the CO2 effect.

The warming since last year was recently cited as 0.42 C, which is far more than could be explained by latent CO2 levels, and is equivalent to more than half of the purported warming from CO2.

Yes, this year appears quite notably warmer than previous years, but the warming over the last year and a half is far too much to be caused by human-adjusted CO2 levels.

"This eruption put us in uncharted territory," said Ross Salawitch, professor at the University of Maryland's Earth System Science Interdisciplinary Center and co-author of the study. "We've never seen, in the history of satellite records, this much water vapor injected into the atmosphere and our paper is the first that looks at the downstream consequences over broad regions of both hemispheres in the months following the eruption using satellite data and a global model."

I only have one question, was this eruption "man-made"? If not, nothing man does can compete either positively or negatively. In other words, spending a single penny on "climate change" is a waste.

I eagerly await the climate change activists gluing themselves to the rim of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano.....

Run away! RUN AWAY!!

Good grief! When the Creator designed and built the whole thing, it was according to a sustainable cycle of calm / cataclysm / decline / recovery / repeat [ad infinitum].

The problem with “science” is that too many dullards - who register themselves as scientists but who are mere technicians [at best] - reject the “rational universe” model that is available only to people who understand that unless there is a Creator, there can never be a rational understanding of physical laws.

If it wasn’t for all you SUV drivers that volcano never would have erupted. (channeling climate change koolaid drinkers)

300 billion lbs. of water sounds like a lot. But, it’s not really THAT much: Just 1 cubic mile of water is 9,181,017,236,653 pounds. And in one day, something over 9 cubic miles of water evaporates, transpires, etc., into Earth’s atmosphere.

Granted that most of that 9 cubic miles of water doesn’t usually end up in the stratosphere, and that most volcanos don’t put much water 30 miles up, either. (Note that the article doesn’t actually state what fraction of Tonga’s 300 billion lbs. made it 30 miles up, or what the significance is if it’s 30 miles up vs. 13 miles up.)

Tambora had the greatest effect on the climate, as it chucked a lot more material, especially ash, into the atmosphere / stratosphere. Interestingly, it’s plume is estimated to have peaked at under 30 miles high — there are some interesting relationships between intensity and duration that affect the “Volcanic Emissivity Index” used to rate volcanos. In terms of “bang”, the 3rd explosion at Krakatoa was the loudest sound in recorded history, but in total material blasted out, Tambora was considerably larger.

Major / exceptional eruptions of note:

Tambora VEI = 7, plume ~ 29 miles high

Krakatoa VEI = 6, plume ~ 50 miles high

Pinatubo VEI = 6.0, plume ~ 28 miles high

Tonga VEI = 5.7, plume ~ 30+ miles high
