Interesting comments on that Climate etc. article from the author Javier Vinos, who points out Gavin Schmidt's latest nonsense commentary in Nature and also points out that climate models cannot simulate the instantaneous warming due to the HTHH eruption. Schmidt, as I noted a few days ago, is arguing that HTHH could only produce a 'few hundredths of a degree' warming but this is based on a study which models the EQUILIBRIUM RESPONSE of stratospheric water vapour to a quadrupling of CO2 over a long period, something which I covered here:

So unprecedented and unpredictable natural events can have profound impacts on climate too, which can scupper all the modelling...

I've just posted this same thing on one of your earlier posts!

Well done Jaime for being ahead of Climate Etc, which I’ve always regarded as a wishy-washy “luke-warmer” blog. The January 2022 Hunga Tonga anomaly was obvious from March 2022 as recorded in the unprecedented spike in the Met Office CET monthly update, thereafter peremptorily discontinued to avoid further embarrassment to the globalist narrative: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/legacy/graphs/HadCET_graph_ylybars_uptodate_3.gif

Three SSWs says it all, doesn't it? Any climate discussion that fails to mention Hunga Tonga is bogus. It's the equivalent of any climate discussion about reversing CO2 emissions without touting nuclear is bogus.
