Because I know that:
>a volcano on the sea floor erupted for almost an entire month in Dec. 2021-Jan. 2022.
>column of superheated steam 3 miles wide, 24/7.
>then it just fucking exploded Krakatoa-style.
"B-but Krakatoa caused muh little ice age!"
>Krakatoa wasn't underwater, faggot. Anyway...
>effects on atmosphere never before observed, and not fully understood
>the jet streams are fucked, every layer of the atmosphere is fucked up
>Expected to continue fucking up global weather patterns until at least 2038.

In December 2021, an eruption began on Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai, a submarine volcano in the Tongan archipelago in the southern Pacific Ocean. The eruption reached a very large and powerful climax nearly four weeks later, on 15 January 2022.
>This nigga erupted for four whole weeks
>underwater volcano
>That means steam heated to thousands of degrees boiling up into the atmosphere the entire fucking time.
>steam picked up by jetstream, which shids and fards this hot, moist air all over the planet, and has its own path warped to shit in the process.
>After 4 weeks, the volcano just fucking explodes.
>superhot steam jet punches right through the jet stream, and through the Earth's atmopshere into fucking space
From NASA:
>"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."
From the Journal of Climate
>"The simulations show that the SWV anomalies lead to strong and persistent warming of Northern Hemisphere landmasses in boreal winter, and austral winter cooling over Australia, years after eruption, demonstrating that large SWV forcing can have surface impacts on a decadal time scale"
>While water vapor absorbs heat and contributes to warming, its concentration in the atmosphere is largely determined by temperature. Increased temperatures lead to more evaporation, which increases water vapor, which further enhances warming, and so on. This is a feedback loop where water vapor amplifies the effects of other greenhouse gases like CO2
I read somewhere that now it's expected to fuck the climate until at least 2038, but I forget where. "Decadal" would mean at least 2032. No one seems to know for sure how long this is going to last.
Climate troons on suicide watch.
