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

Have volcanos never erupted before?
Did we get a heatwave after St Helen?
I can’t keep track, did a volcano cause this heatwave or has it “always been hot in summer smdh”
Those retards will do anything but accept personal responsibility.

I hear Bob Breck reference the summer of 1980 as one of New Orleans’s hottest.
That was was the same year Mt. St. Helens blew so coincidence or not it is brutal out there.

When adults are discussing these climate change factors we are talking about differences between it being 100° today and 99.3°.
Noone is saying it wouldve been 94° today if not for a volcano or el Nino or global warming.

I hear it's at least 7 degrees cooler with your head in the sand.

Thanks to this thread I've been reading about Hunga Tonga for 2 hours, now I'm going down the YouTube rabbit hole on Krakatoa.

I keep hearing people say this and its pretty dumb logic. The if their place does flood in 15 years then they'll just buy another place a few feet higher. If they can't afford it then they'll ask Soros or one of his like for a few dozen mill. Even if they had 100% confidence it would flood in a few years they might still buy the same place. Life is fleeting, live where you want.

It's been trending this way for decades.
But yeah, it would be cooler this entire year had that volcano not erupted.

What explains the relatively cool spring weather until June??

We were still coming out of a long La Ninia, when the El Ninio kicked in the temperatures jumped

Yes, of course volcanos have erupted, but this is possibly the most powerful eruption in recorded history AND it was underwater. That cloud in the satellite vid is about the size of Germany. St Helens would have had the opposite effect, cooling, because that is typical of above ground volcanic eruptions that contain a lot of sulfur compounds.
Hunga Tonga, OTOH, measurably increased the water vapor in the stratosphere by anywhere from 10-30% depending on whose numbers you believe. That will affect global climate, but I have yet to hear one MSM news outlet discuss this in the context of our present heatwave.

That seems like forever ago but at the time I was wondering if Summer was ever going to get here. If I had a choice I'd rather have a cool spring and super hot July-Aug and then a cool Fall. Actually I'd rather have a cool July-Aug too if I'm getting my wishes in from Genie.

From what I understand, a volcano would actually cause a cool down right? Because whatever it releases would end up serving as a layer. Unless there are factors I don't understand, but don't buy the bullshite that its only going to get hotter..

It just cracks me up when people are suprised that it is hot in the south in the summer. Has this summer had more warmer days than the last few summers. Maybe, maybe not, I honestly don’t know. I do know that I started with my current employer as a route driver in 1998 and we had 31 consecutive days of 100+ degree days. That was 25 years ago and we haven’t had near that this year. I think a lot of it is as people get older that have a harder time dealing with extremes in temperature. So a hot summer seems hotter than what they remember from years past.

Not if underwater and spews a frickton of a powerful greenhouse gas (water vapor) into the atmosphere.
Now if the volcano had put out particulates and sulfides that block solar radiation, than sure, cooling.

I mean, temperature is objective data. We do have an established "Normal" temperature (high, low, and average). We do have a record. We can compare current temps to that record and objectively see that, yes......this Summer has had warmer days than most. It will likely be one of the warmest on record for some places, for some it will be about Normal, and for some others it will actually be a below Normal Summer. The reality is, yes it is hot. It is also true that you don't have to go very far to find more Normal Summer temps, or even temps below Normal. All that will ever draw attention is the extreme. Nothing else sells.

Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reached at least 100 degrees for 10 straight days through Aug. 7, topping the previous record streak of 8 days in Aug. 1921. -? College Station, Conroe and Huntsville, Texas, each shattered their previous record-long triple-digit heat streaks.
-9 hours ago
One record streak finally came to an end. Tuscon, Arizona, obliterated their previous record 100-degree-plus streak from June-July 2013 by two full weeks, but that finally was snapped on Tuesday.
