Is that an atomic bomb going off? Is it an optical illusion? No, it's an eruption of the Hunga-Tonga undersea volcano in 2022 caught with time-lapse photography. This caused huge plumes of water vapour to be ejected into the atmosphere.
So what is water vapour? It's just the most prevalent greenhouse gas in the atmosphere, up to 4%. Meanwhile, CO2, which we're told is a poison and needs to be reduced at all costs even if we destroy our standard of living, is only .04% of atmospheric gases. So there is 100 times more water vapour than CO2 in the air.
The volcanic eruptions increased the water vapour in the atmosphere by more than 10%. Scientists at NASA and the European Space Agency have confirmed that the effect is substantially warming the earth's surface. They also believe the excess water vapour will take a few years to dissipate.
From the study, the following were the conclusions:
Following the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption, the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder measured enhancements of stratospheric H2O, SO2, and HCl
The mass of SO2 and HCl injected is comparable to that from prior eruptions, whereas the magnitude of the H2O injection is unprecedented
Excess stratospheric H2O will persist for years, could affect stratospheric chemistry and dynamics, and may lead to surface warming
I bet you're not hearing about this in the mainstream media.
Yeah because all the electric cars and electric stoves in the world won't make one damn bit of difference when one volcano can warm the planet for years. Too bad science isn't going to include this in the current model.
American Thinker had a good article. Thanks got your great post!
