Guest Post By Willis Eschenbach Only a journalist truly committed to the ancient art of panic-clickbait could squeeze all the world’s existential dread into a headline like, “A Giant, Destructive…

The Warming Of 2023 Was Due To Natural Causes, Not Man-Made
The volcano in question occurred at the end of January 2022. Not much happened until around May 2023. Then, however, the “impulse response” of the climate system probably took place:…
Fear in Campi Flegrei: Biggest Volcanic Earthquake in 40 Years
The Campei Flagrei volcano complex includes the volcano which wiped out the ancient Roman city of Pompeii.
Volcanoes Spew 3X More CO2 Than Thought & 19,000 New Undersea Volcanoes Found: Is Human-Driven Climate Narrative Crumbling?
Two groundbreaking volcanic studies this past month are shaking up everything we thought we knew about carbon dioxide (CO2) in Earth’s atmosphere.
Volcanic Rumblings
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I noticed that WUWT has a recent post about an interesting study that has identified the mystery huge volcanic eruption in 1831. Turns out that…
‘Mystery Volcano’ that Lowered Global Temperatures Nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit in 1831 Identified
To find the volcano, researchers compared the chemistry of microscopic shards of ash extracted from ice cores drilled in Greenland with samples from the Zavaritskii caldera. They determined it was a…
Hunga Tonga volcano: impact on record warming
I present arguments that support the view that we are facing an extraordinary and extremely rare natural event in climate history.
Climate Change and Volcanoes
Hence any “increase in volcanic eruptions due to ongoing deglaciation since the end of the Little Ice Age may not become apparent for hundreds of years.”
Hunga Tonga-Hunga eruption sent enough water vapor into the stratosphere to cause a rapid change in chemistry
The tremendous amount of water vapor that this volcano sent to the stratosphere led to a rapid production of sulfate aerosol particles that we were able to observe within days…
Hunga-Tonga Mysteries
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Yesterday, Anthony Watts posted a most interesting discussion of the Hunga-Tonga volcano, entitled “Record Global Temperatures Driven by Hunga-Tonga Volcanic Water Vapor – Visualized“. I…
Record Global Temperatures Driven by Hunga-Tonga Volcanic Water Vapor – Visualized
Image above: Global Water Vapor – Source: NASA: https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/global-maps/MYDAL2_M_SKY_WV Readers may recall that we have reported on the massive amount of water vapor that has been injected into the stratosphere…
What NASA and the European Space Agency are admitting but the media are failing to report about our current heat wave
…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…
Ryan Maue on Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai Submarine Volcano.
Based upon the last few months, it seems the effect of 🌋on global temperatures may have been greatly underestimated.
Study: The Tongan Eruption Might Cause a Breach of the 1.5C Global Warming Limit
… But we can’t consider it a Paris Agreement breach, because volcanic impacts on climate change are natural, not manmade.
Tonga Eruption Blasted Unprecedented Amount of Water Into Stratosphere
The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface.
Seafloor spreading has been slowing down
This cycle is called seafloor spreading, and its rate shapes many global processes, including sea level and the carbon cycle. Faster rates tend to cause more volcanic activity, which releases…
Ancient Ice Reveals Scores of Gigantic Volcanic Eruptions
Ice cores drilled in Antarctica and Greenland have revealed gigantic volcanic eruptions during the last ice age. Sixty-nine of these were larger than any eruption in modern history. According to…
Low Volcanic Temperature Ushered in Global Cooling and the Thriving of Dinosaurs
Researchers in Japan, Sweden, and the US have unearthed evidence that low volcanic temperatures led to the fourth mass extinction, enabling dinosaurs to flourish during the Jurassic period.
CBS: Climate Change CAUSED the Tonga Volcanic Eruption
Judge for yourself – on the following video, CBS anchor Nate Burleson appears to claim volcanoes are “happening, and becoming more frequent” because of climate change.
The Tonga Volcano Affects the Weather and Water of the Pacific Northwest
From the Cliff Mass Weather Blog Yesterday, around 0400 UTC 15 January (8 PM PST 14 January), there was a massive, explosive eruption near Tonga, in the southern tropical Pacific,…
Volcanic Fertilization of the Oceans Drove Severe Mass Extinction, Say Scientists
“Our study may prompt reinvestigations of other mass extinctions during Earth history”, concludes Dr Longman.
Thwaites glacier: Significant geothermal heat beneath the ice stream
Nevertheless, the heat flow could be a crucial factor that needs to be considered when it comes to the future of Thwaites Glacier. According to Gohl: “Large amounts of geothermal…
Claim: Climate change will transform cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, study suggests
The authors hope to bring together more volcanologists and climate scientists to understand not only the mechanics behind volcanic plume rise and aerosol lifecycle, but also how changes in eruption…
Energy unleashed by submarine volcanoes could power a continent
The research shows that submarine eruptions cause megaplumes to form but the release of energy is so rapid that it cannot be supplied from the erupted molten lava alone. Instead,…
