Tom Nelson and Matthew Weilicki discuss the impacts of Hunga Tonga on temperature in a recent podcast. It's very insightful and convincing. It is utterly implausible (for me) to believe that a trace gas that seems to be steadily increasing (the vast majority of which is naturally produced) could have such profound effects on temperature over such a short duration. It's preposterous and illogical.
There is a NOVA episode about the eruption. Season 50 Episode 8, aired May10. You should be able to find it online. Most recent NOVA seasons are pretty Woke and they really promote Global warming. This is still a good episode to watch.
He makes the point that such a rapid rise could not possibly be caused by greenhouse gas warming and raises the issue of the Hunga Tonga undersea volcanic eruption which is being studiously ignored by climate alarmists.
He postulates on the delayed reaction effect of the eruption (January 2022) on the UAH temperature readings:
“The eruption was so powerful that the plume reached the stratosphere, where it can only very slowly return to the Earth’s surface, unlike water vapour in the troposphere. For the months after the eruption this greenhouse effect was countered by the cooling effect of the ash and aerosols sent aloft. Now that this effect has receded, we are seeing the full greenhouse effect of the plume.”
This is what I pointed out in August. The aerosols from the eruption have dispersed but the stratospheric water vapour is still there.
"So here’s my suggestion: we are beginning to see rapid warming now, in summer 2023, because the radiative warming effect of the water vapour is no longer being cancelled by the aerosol cooling effect of Tonga. It’s as simple as that."
The scurrilous Met Office then stopped posting this monthly graph for some reason. I think we can all guess why. I wrote to them two months ago to challenge them on this but they haven’t replied. My letter is posted at the end of Jamie's post on the subject: https://jaimejessop.substack.com/p/hunga-games.
Glad to hear from you - I was getting worried something had happened to your account, especially when you didn't response to the BBC's "hottest september on record".

Glad to see you back online!
The September UAH anomaly is even higher. Paul Homewood did a post entitled “Hottest Eveh September!!”, see https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2023/10/06/hottest-evah-september/.

Unlike the UAH troposphere temperatures, the Hunga effect (or some other extremely unlikely coincidence) showed up clearly as an unprecedented spike in the March 2022 UK CET temperature reading as recorded by the UK Met Office: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/hadobs/hadcet/legacy/graphs/HadCET_graph_ylybars_uptodate_3.gif.

Batteries can't even be relied upon to power a simple laptop. Our idiot politicians want to use them to power the nation when the wind isn't blowing!
