Supposedly, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga volcano that erupted in 2022 is the cause of this heat

The current heat wave is being relentlessly blamed on increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but there is a much more plausible explanation, one that is virtually endorsed by two of the world's leading scientific organizations. It turns out that levels of water vapor in the atmosphere have dramatically increased over the last year and a half, and water vapor is well recognized as a greenhouse gas, whose heightened presence leads to higher temperatures, a mechanism that dwarfs any effect CO2 may have.

So why has atmospheric water vapor increased so dramatically? Because of a historic, gigantic volcanic eruption last year that I — probably along with you — had never heard of. The mass media ignored it because it took place 490 feet underwater in the South Pacific. Don't take it from me; take it from NASA (and please do follow the link to see time-lapse satellite imagery of the underwater eruption and subsequent plume of gases and water injected into the atmosphere):

When the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted on Jan. 15, it sent a tsunami racing around the world and set off a sonic boom that circled the globe twice. The underwater eruption in the South Pacific Ocean also blasted an enormous plume of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – enough to fill more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools. The sheer amount of water vapor could be enough to temporarily affect Earth’s global average temperature.

The eruption of the submarine Hunga volcano in January 2022 was associated with a powerful blast that injected volcanic material to altitudes up to 58 km. From a combination of various types of satellite and ground-based observations supported by transport modeling, we show evidence for an unprecedented increase in the global stratospheric water mass by 13% relative to climatological levels, and a 5-fold increase of stratospheric aerosol load, the highest in the last three decades. Owing to the extreme injection altitude, the volcanic plume circumnavigated the Earth in only 1 week and dispersed nearly pole-to-pole in three months. The unique nature and magnitude of the global stratospheric perturbation by the Hunga eruption ranks it among the most remarkable climatic events in the modern observation era, with a range of potential long-lasting repercussions for stratospheric composition and climate.

So this is a one year event? Fingers crossed. This summer has been brutal.

If it was global warming, the obamas wouldn’t be on Martha’s Vineyard.

It’s wild to me that, “it’s hot this summer!” is a regular headline from June to August every year.

You mean the hot weather is due to Chem trails?

Imagine living your whole life as a whale in the ocean living peacefully, just eating fish, moaning, doing whale shite.

Then one day you get blasted to smithereens by a motherfricking underwater volcano.

What a bummer that would be.

Makes more sense than the “global boiling” bs

Kill more cows or something to combat this right?

Mother Nature can’t keep getting away with this.

This is playing a role, but to what extent is uncertain.

Im personally curious to what the research shows to be the effect over the next couple of years.

I've found it interesting that volcanos can be so loud when they erupt.

Krakatoa was "loud" enough to kill people miles and miles away with the sonic blast iirc.

Loudest noise ever-

Reports from up to thousands of miles away tell of the explosion’s terrifying reach. People 3,000 miles (4,800km) away described it as “cannon fire from a nearby ship”.

2,233 miles away in Alice Springs, Australia, ranchers on a sheep camp heard a sound like two shots from a rifle.

Captain Sampson of the British ship Norham Castle, which was around 40 miles (64 km) from Krakatoa at the time of the eruption, wrote a chilling report which read: “So violent are the explosions that the ear-drums of over half my crew have been shattered. My last thoughts are with my dear wife. I am convinced that the Day of Judgement has come.”

Most the stories about the 1883 eruption have come from people far away, given no one close to it could have survived.

More than 30,000 people were killed by the volcano and ensuing tsunami. It released 20 million tons of sulphur into the atmosphere and emitted aerosols that reduced global temperatures for years.

Of course, who's conducting and manipulating the research (and for whom) so often taints the results.

Plus el nino. Yes.

Or you can believe it's barbecues, air conditioners and suburbans
