“Texas A&M atmospheric scientist Dr. Andrew Dessler and fellow researchers analyzing the climate impact of the 2022 Hunga Tonga volcano eruption — widely thought to be responsible for the Earth’s extreme warmth during the past two years — have determined the two-day underwater event actually cooled the climate.”
Mother Nature has a strange timing when it comes to keeping its balance. This is a great news to the warming planet to have. Yet we still don’t know how much of an impact this event had compared to the concerted effort the human race made to curve our fossil fuel emissions.

The aerosols provided a short term cooling effect but once those clear from the stratosphere the CO2 will still have a long term heating effect.
