Does someone already have the exploding volcano ping list?

It is evident that the MSM are not on it!

 ...our output of 29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons moving through the carbon cycle each year...
 
 
Someone has a different view...

Thanks for doing that. It is very impressive.

I always expect a great event like this on my birthday, which is tomorrow.

Sunken Civ ha the CATASTROPHISM ping list which includes volcanoes, earthquakes, meteor and asteroid strikes, etc.

I may have confused the timing. Not sure if my son recorded the wave 20 min after the event or 20 min after it passed through Colorado.
Scroll don in the site and see recorded pressure wave in Key Biscayne ,FL.

Thanks! The global warming scammers lie all the time. Why? Just about all these “scientists” are on the US Govt dole for their fake research funding. Last I looked, this is 2 billion per year.

“..our output of 29 gigatons of CO2 is tiny compared to the 750 gigatons moving through the carbon cycle each year...”

So human activity contributes 4% of all CO2 going into the atmosphere. Covid scam and panic, vaxx scam and panic, global warming scam and panic. All part of a piece.

Well I know Krakatoa did that but am surprised enough energy was involved in the Tonga eruption. Will check your link later, thanks. I was 150 miles from Mt. St. Helens and felt that pressure wave personally.

That is somewhat a conflation of what is happening. The 750 gigatons is sort of a closed loop. It varies a bit (sometimes a lot, on a geologic time scale), but on average has been fairly stable during recorded human history (an “eyeblink” to be sure - modern man has had it really “easy”), ).

Adding 4% a year seems almost trivial, but it is additive, year over year. One might think of it as non-compound interest, but, over 25 years, well, the extra has to go somewhere. Some gets absorbed by rocks (the Himalayas are a huge CO2 sink), some goes into the oceans (not quite so good as carbonic acid in the oceans increases), some is absorbed by plants (but usually returned fairly quickly.) And... atmospheric concentrations of CO2 tend to go up a bit.

Whether this is “bad” on net is questionable. If it involves warming, well, life on Earth has almost always done better when the planet was warm. And if we are preventing a period of glaciation, I’m all for that! Such came very close to exterminating humans, the last go-round.

It might have something to do with rate of energy release as opposed to total energy release. Tambora was 4-10 times as “powerful” as Krakatoa, but Krakatoa generated greater peak intensity. No news to you, likely, but remnants of the pressure wave from Krakatoa’s 3rd and greatest blast were detected 5 days later (this in 1883), having gone 3-1/2 times around the world.

I had an app (cannot remember name) that monitored barometic pressure to 2 decimal places.

It checked like every second or so.

It could detect the difference opening/closing an outer door could make!

There were a lot more scientific instraments operating worldwide in 1883 than in 1815. which may explain more information on Krakatoa. When Mt. Pelee was ramping up to explosion in 1902 there were people on Martinique who were watching their barometers for guidance on possiboe eruption.

Here is a link with overhead before and after shots of the situation in Tonga.
