Climate alarmists register another loss...

A few years ago, a large underwater volcano I'd never heard of, erupted. 
The eruption was so massive that it literally added an extra 10% of water to our atmosphere.....

Well, current measurements are in, and a bunch of science folks are saying...

It did the exact opposite. It actually cooled the planet.

In other words, were it not for the eruption, the past 2 record warm years would have been even hotter ....

It's really not good news at all!

What made Tonga even worse was that for months La Palma off the coast of Africa was pumping out daily amounts of Sulpher Dioxide (a powerful greenhouse gas) that dwarfed what man has put out since the industrial revolution.

The La Palma eruptions weren't powerful enough to put SO2 into the stratosphere.  If they had been, it would also have caused cooling - it's the basis behind one of the ideas for geoengineering to counter global warming; spraying SO2 into the stratosphere

So2 is NOT a greenhouse gas!
