"Extreme" heat? It's Mother Nature's fault!

Tonga Eruption Blasted Unprecedented Amount of Water Into Stratosphere​

Tonga Eruption Blasted Unprecedented Amount of Water Into Stratosphere

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.

This extra water vapor could influence atmospheric chemistry, boosting certain chemical reactions that could temporarily worsen depletion of the ozone layer. It could also influence surface temperatures. Massive volcanic eruptions like Krakatoa and Mount Pinatubo typically cool Earth’s surface by ejecting gases, dust, and ash that reflect sunlight back into space. In contrast, the Tonga volcano didn’t inject large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere, and the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect, since water vapor traps heat.

I have read that the country can expect this "extreme" heat to extend into next summer too, thanks to the volcano.

Supposedly the initial estimates of water vapor ejected into the stratosphere was off by a factor of three since the article was published.

In comparison to what Mother Nature does on a cyclic basis so-called "man-made climate change" is nothing but a grift.

Makes sense to me.

I was just going to mention this. Excellent OP. A volcano has a huge impact on our temperatures. Releasing a significant amount of Greenhouse gases into the atmosphere

From volcanoes in the pacific, to the volcanoes erupting under the Antarctica. Volcanoes are having an effect on weather.

The OP: .............., and the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect, since water vapor traps heat.

It might?

Where did you read that this eruption would extend the summer heatwave?

From your link:

In contrast, the Tonga volcano didn’t inject large amounts of aerosols into the stratosphere, and the huge amounts of water vapor from the eruption may have a small, temporary warming effect, since water vapor traps heat. The effect would dissipate when the extra water vapor cycles out of the stratosphere and would not be enough to noticeably exacerbate climate change effects.​

The stratosphere is normally almost devoid of water vapor so a 10% increase is not as large as it might sound.

The stratosphere begins at about 12.5 km.

Remove all the climate change grift BS and you are left with a real (and somewhat lasting) up-tic in natural warming caused by just one natural event.

Tonga Eruption May Temporarily Push Earth Closer to 1.5°C of Warming - Eos

The underwater eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha‘apai sent megatons of water vapor into the stratosphere, contributing to an increase in global warming over the next 5 years.

What are you saying? That the only real warming has been since the Tonga eruption and due to water vapor it put into the stratosphere?

Did you not read the text I took from YOUR LINKED ARTICLE? "Would not be enough to noticeably exacerbate climate change effects".
