The Hunga Tonga eruption of December 2021 was the largest eruption of the 21st century, an underwater eruption caused explosions due to the interaction between the magma and the water. I was suprised to learn from a post on a most learned forum that the Hunga Tonga eruption ejected 100,000,000 tonnes of water into the atmosphere, whilst doing strange things with sulpher dioxide for a comparable eruption.
This paper hypothesises the future link between Hunga Tonga 2021 and global warming.
