Tonga Volcano Contributed To Global Warming, Not Cow Farts Or Taylor Swift's Private Jet

But consider this. In January 2022, a huge underwater volcano erupted in Tonga, an island nation in the southwest Pacific Ocean. The blast sent a massive amount of water into the Earth's stratosphere. In August 2022, NASA reported it was "equal to 10 percent of the water already present in that atmospheric layer."

Major volcanic eruptions "typically cool Earth's surface by ejecting gases, dust and ash that reflect sunlight back into space," NASA wrote. In contrast, "water vapor traps heat."

That led to predictions from scientists. In September 2022, Live Science wrote, "50 million tons of water vapor from Tonga's eruption could warm Earth for years." The Associated Press reported in 2022 that the eruption "could wind up warming the Earth."
