NASA and ESA on the cause of the heat wave

Massive release of water vapor from an underwater volcano is causing these 'rivers of moisture' in the atmosphere. Something like 146 teragrams of vapor, heating the atmosphere and oceans. Not to worry, scientists say it will take several years of heat waves to dissipate back near normal.

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 gasses and water injected into the atmosphere):

NASA published the above in August 2022. Half a year later, a newer study increased the estimate of the water vapor addition to the atmosphere by 30%. From the European Space Agency:

In a recent paper published in Nature, a team of scientists showed the unprecedented increase in the global stratospheric water mass by 13% (relative to climatological levels) and a five-fold increase of stratospheric aerosol load – the highest in the last three decades.
Using a combination of satellite data, including data from ESA’s Aeolus satellite, and ground-based observations, the team found that due to the extreme altitude, the volcanic plume circumnavigated the Earth in just one week and dispersed nearly pole-to-pole in three months. [emphasis added]

Another scientific paper explains the “net warming of the climate system” on a delayed basis. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory further explains:

Volcanic eruptions rarely inject much water into the stratosphere. In the 18 years that NASA has been taking measurements, only two other eruptions – the 2008 Kasatochi event in Alaska and the 2015 Calbuco eruption in Chile – sent appreciable amounts of water vapor to such high altitudes. But those were mere blips compared to the Tonga event, and the water vapor from both previous eruptions dissipated quickly. The excess water vapor injected by the Tonga volcano, on the other hand, could remain in the stratosphere for several years.
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. The effect would dissipate when the extra water vapor cycles out of the stratosphere [Emphases added]

Jeff Childers, who brought this scientific data to my notice, writes:

Here’s why corporate media is ignoring the most dramatic climate even[t] in modern history: because you can’t legislate underwater volcanoes. You can try, but they won’t listen. So what’s the fun in that? Corporate media only exists to further political ends. Since volcanoes aren’t subject to politics, why bother?

What NASA and the European Space Agency are admitting but the media are failing to report about our current heat wave (bumped)
So now you’re using NASA as a reference ? Good. Then you’ll agree on their assessment of the climate over all.
 
It’s obvious you’re trying to use a source for evidence you discredit otherwise. You’re the hypocrite…illiterate.
Nasa likes space for sure, but get on topic. Respond to the op
 
Then you admit trolling
If you call it trolling to point out your hypocrisy of using a link to prove something you don’t even believe in, you’re one strange dude. But we’ve known you Humpers were crazy for years.

You don’t have what it takes to understand the reason! You can’t see your own gds agree with us! Smart people call that ironic and you a troll

Thankfully. It takes a bunch of crazies dedicated to making up shit. Don’t forget QAnon, your guiding light.

Russiagate hahaha



Still making shit up
