Having been reading about identified drivers behind 2022 being the warmest year on record.
One of the most significant was the Jan 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapi volcanic eruption, which sent 146 million tons of water from the South Pacific Ocean into the stratosphere, adding 10 per cent to the stratosphere's water vapor total, increasing the greenhouse gas effect of trapping heat.
Once understanding the magnitude of the event, am surprised by how little press the event received.
