      So there's a high probability this will lead to an explosion of growth around the site in the very near future.

      Relative to the atmosphere as a whole there was virtually zero extra moisture. The vapor from Hunga corresponded to roughly 0.001% of the vapor present in the atmosphere at all times. It was only relative to the dry stratosphere that it had any significance, but that doesn't have anything to do with any extra rain.

    Great summary Anton. When you talked about the huge number of lightening strikes during the eruption, the thought occurred to me that this could be a potential source of lightening energy needed billions of years ago, to jump start organic life on earth. Early earth must have had numerous volcanic eruptions and if lightening super events occurred in the vicinity of these eruptions, then perhaps organic life could have been kick started by one or more of these events...

    • @ProfessorJayTee
      @ProfessorJayTee Месяц назад +22

      Current theory points more at undersea hot water vents as the source of first life. Continuous available energy, both thermal and chemical. You're thinking of the old Miller-Urey experiments making organics from inorganics, which is now known to be largely pointless. At the time we were quite wrong, and thought organics were only produced by life. We know KNOW that pre-life Earth would have been covered by organics from fallen asteroids and comets.

      Thanks for this info, I must have had it in the back of my head but forgot about it. I was learning about the weather and local climate affects newly built dams in China were having and I remember being very surprised that the weather got hotter and they actually had less rainfall even though they had this new water mass the was constantly evaporating right next to them.
      Now one needs to start thinking, if the oceans are heating up, more water will evaporate and temperatures will go up even faster. Maybe more rainfall in some areas but overall things are getting more hot.
      Looking at Los Angeles and the lack of rain they have had now in the rainy season and hell like fires raging right now we are seeing changes that we have not in our lifetime seen before.
      I was initially hoping that the Tonga explosion would actually reduce global temperatures by a little for a few years, but seems not enough dust and to much water vapor ??

      ​@@solon2923yes, every climate model requires higher water vapor to get the runway doom effect. Every model takes tiny, less effective greenhouse gasses, and uses them to boost water vapor which is what actually causes the heating.
      But, all the models forget something ELSE that more water vapor means: more clouds. Clouds reflect sunlight across the full spectrum, so less solar radiance to heat the planet. Also, more water vapor helps plants (as does high CO2, up to about 1500 ppm, and we're under 500 ppm currently...) so more carbon capture. Lastly, more precipitation, so less desertification and fresh water supply, including potentially recharging ground water aquifers (especially with beaver dams and other things to slow water flow down instead of just rushing to the ocean).
      It's a lot more able to self balance than climate alarmists give credit.

      I live in the Midwest, and the sky looked smokey for weeks from Washington to the Atlantic Ocean. The ash is dense and reflective. So, it reflects and refracts the sunlight so that it can't warm the ground.
      It likely affected the entire globe because as areas cool, it draws heat from the surrounding areas, and that sets off storm fronts, triggering a chain event.
      Check the weather records. There definitely wasn't any major warming from the steam anywhere but within a few hundred feet from the site, it may have raised the temperature by a degree for a few minutes.
      I'm not spouting my own personal theory here. The cooling is a recorded, provable fact

      If the numbers are to be believed and today our collective emissions are in the region of 100x that of all the volcanic eruptions on Earth - then we should acknowledge it's not been consistently 100x for the entirety of the human industrialisation era, as we started with a fraction of the population and a tiny amount of industrialisation that would likely not even have registered.
      On the flip-side, 250 years of so-called industrialisation (if we yield to that time period) doesn't even register vs the age of the Earth, and the fact that it started as an inhospitable molten ball of rock, cooled, warmed cooled, warmed, had ice that covered most of the planet, had high oxygen levels, became saturated with CO2, had a well known medieval warm period, natural forest fires, dealt with continental shift (affecting climate), Earth's position in the solar system and galaxy, Solar cycles etc. etc. All without human industrialisation. The list of data-points is massive and endless!

Yes, and I also think it's shitty that we've allowed the population to explode from 770m to 8bn in such a short amount of time. I also think it's shitty that the big polluters can't capture and store their soot and other pollutants - but the data scientist in me also refuses to believe that in less than 200 years, we've done more damage to the Earth (climate-wise) than it has suffered through all the natural events that have occurred during its 4.6bn years.

      Just because you don’t understand what they are, does not mean they are UAP’s.
      If you have evidence I would get in contact with your local observatory to discuss possibilities, or an astrophysicist

      @@tomp.55 1973 November, Chapman Road, New Hartford, Oneida County, New York my high school best friend and I were heading west in a car around 10 PM. An object overhead trailing light streaked across the sky heading south west, ricocheted/angled -45 degrees to the north, angled -45 degrees again to the south west, then split in two at 90 degree angle and disappeared over the tree line of the opposite side of the valley horizon. The entire time it was visible was about 3 seconds.
      What would contacting my local observatory to discuss possibilities or an astrophysicist add to the observation?

    Too bad he avoided talking about the volcano dramatically affected weather patterns. It didn’t affected temperatures but it did affected weather patterns. Like how 2021 had the most rain for Australia and California. And as of 2024/2025 Pacific Northwest is supposed to be having a La Niña winter but ended up getting a mild winter.

      Because it is unknowable!
      We can postulate it had an effect, but not what it was! Weather is far to complex!

      @@mickrivard8344 you do historically that the earth nearly had glaciers near the equator millions years ago is one of our great die offs to. Also was a lot warmer during the age of the dinosaurs. The earth has ways off changing its own weather patterns that humans can’t control we are just a long for the ride.
      I would like to point at there was a beach in Australia that people said it would be under water in 100 years. Guess what the beach is still there the water levels hasn’t changed yet. Yes I know we are flooding but the reason why we are flooding in costal areas is because we are affecting the local area that makes flooding worse. Like dredging a coastal river to allow bigger ships to navigate which in effect has more tidal flooding do the increase of water from the deeper river.

    0:15 in the video. Clear expanding shock wave around the volcano. Bottom left. But closer to the center of the image there's another expanding circle. Go on a bit, at 0:18, a second starts. Far left, just below center, there's a circle there too.
    What causes those?
