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

Lightning strikes are rather lethal to humans.

Tornados?
Tsunamis?
Hurricanes?
Earthquakes?

Strong ain't the word. This El Nino didn't skip leg day.

So this is a one year event? Fingers crossed. This summer has been brutal.
Sort of. The write-up at NASA's site said it will likely take "several years" for the excess moisture to come back out of the atmosphere. The article also mentioned that the amount of water vapor thrown up into the atmosphere was roughly equal to 10% of the amount which normally exists in the atmosphere. This was well over 1 trillion gallons of new water vapor.
Any injection of so much excess in such a short amount of time is going to cause chaos in whatever environment. The "environment" in this case is "everywhere".
The addition of things like dust into the atmosphere has a cooling effect because it blocks heat from coming in. Water vapor, however, has the opposite effect as it traps heat.

Get informed about DHMO!
quote:
Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the highly reactive hydroxyl radical, a species shown to mutate DNA, denature proteins, disrupt cell membranes, and chemically alter critical neurotransmitters. The atomic components of DHMO are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.

It’s wild to me that, “it’s hot this summer!” is a regular headline from June to August every year.
It's OK to say it's hotter than usual this year. Because it sure seems like it is to me and I've been around for a while.

Seems plausible but 18 months to feel the affect

It is hotter than usual this year
Will probably slowly trend back to our normal low 90s summer misery

The media and leftists will ride this climate change fear porn all the way to the bank
In reality, I think the world can handle a global heating trend better than a global cooling trend. Especially with food shortages and energy shortages thanks to the bullshite in Ukraine.

This is news to me, hoss
I mean, only every major news outlet in the world covered it when/while it was happening and continued to cover it, providing follow up stories, research, papers, etc. to this day.
A simple Google search shows stories from NBC, ABC, CNN, Fox, Nature, Science Magazine, NatGeo, NASA, NOAA, the Japan Times, BBC the AP, Reuters......all when it happened and current day.
The notion that people haven't heard about it because it wasn't covered, and that it wasn't covered due to some conspiracy having something to do with climate change, is complete and total bullshite.
Maybe it was whatever "approved" news sources the poli board types peruse that dropped the ball or just outright ignored it.

Scientists began to note temperature increases in December of last year.
This article from January warned of imminent temperature increases as a direct result of the volcano's eruption:
quote:
The eruption of Tonga’s underwater volcano in 2022 may cause global temperatures to rise, raising the risk that at least one year in the next five will temporarily exceed the 1.5C warming threshold, new research finds.
On 15 January 2022, an underwater volcano in Tonga – the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai – erupted violently, releasing billowing plumes of soot, water vapour and sulphur dioxide high into the atmosphere.
Major volcanic eruptions typically cool the planet temporarily, because, until they dissipate, sulphur dioxide particles reflect sunlight away from the planet. However, the study – published in Nature Climate Change – finds that the Tonga eruption in the south Pacific expelled an unprecedented amount of water into the atmosphere.
Water vapour is a greenhouse gas and so “it is possible that over a multiyear period Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai will cause a temporary increase in global surface temperatures”, the paper says.
The study says that, before the eruption, there was a 50-50 chance that global temperatures would exceed 1.5C above pre-industrial levels at least once by 2026. In its aftermath, the likelihood of exceeding this threshold has increased by seven percentage points – making “imminent 1.5C exceedance” more likely than not.

Ever hear of el Nino? Plus the drought we are experiencing in parts of the country.
The people that wanna blame all the heat on this volcano or all of it on global warming should just frick and get it over with. You're all wrong.
It's sad how even educated Americans can't even acknowledge that it all contributes because they are whipping boys of their political parties.
Both parties are robbing you blind, whether they send your money to the bankers or to ukraine to bail them out doesn't make you better. It just makes you a sucker
