Approximately how many washing machines or buses worth is that?

Sorry.  Weather balloon made me think of the Chinese spy balloons.  lol
View Quote


Based on a 5 cu ft washing machine, it would be around 1,078,853,349.8211009270709097866021 washing machines.

Based on a 960 cu ft school bus, it would be around 42,033,247.392708333333333333333333 school buses.

Thunderstorms are usually contained in the troposphere.

The volcano launched 150 million tons of water into the stratosphere which is usually much drier.

Interesting.  58,000 Olympic sized swimming pools of water volume sounds fairly significant to a human scale, I wouldn't think that it would be that much on a global scale. But they are saying it's equivalent to 10-30% of the water volume at those altitudes.

We have thunderstorms every summer that dump more than that.  Named storms dump much more.

660,000 gallons in the Olympic spec pool x 58,000. 38B gallons.    

1" = 17M gallons per sq mile

Enough for <1 inch of rain on a 50x50 mile area.

Most people dont realize that water vapor is a potent greenhouse gas in its own right, putting co2 and methane to shame.

The warmest cult loves to talk about co2 because they use that as a control on western behavior.  Co2 only adds a little to the greenhouse effect,  they need to assume big increases in h2o to get the warming in their shitty AGW models

Less than 1% of atmospheric water vapor is in the stratosphere, so a 10-13% increase isn't as significant as it sounds.

It's probably having some impact, but since a 1C increase in temperature increases total atmospheric water vapor by about 9%, it probably isn't very big.

By that logic, CO2 has even less impact because it's not 1%, it's .03%.

What heat wave? Been a pretty mild summer on the east coast. Little more humid than usual, but that’s about it.

I bet they blame the eruption on fracking.  

Somehow, they have to tie naturally occurring events to human behavior.

That Tonga volcanic explosion in January was 6 of the VEI scale releasing a volume of at least 10 km3 (2.4 cu mi) with profound long-term effects on the surrounding area and noticeable short-term effects on global climate.  Equivalent to krakatoa but without the temporary cooling.

Ban volcanoes and the earths elliptical cycles that take place about every 100K years along with sun spots and that will will end climate changes that take place.

But no one will gain power or make money off of that so lets blame gas stoves your mobility and AC instead. The midwest was once an inland tropical sea, where I live in NW PA it was covered by a mile high ice sheet. It came and went by banning prehistoric gas stoves.

Trust the science.

Yes. The layers of the atmosphere matter. The stratosphere being higher, thinner and colder, likely has a much lower capacity for holding water vapor than the troposphere.

I wonder what happens to water vapor in that area? Sounds like it doesn't just condense and fall out of the sky as readily as in the lower layers.

I was really hoping that Tonga was going to give us some colder temps. They announced really soon afterwards that that was not going to happen because Tonga did not through out the kind of dust a gasses that are associated with cooling. Not to add insult to injury it turns out it has made things warmer.


I hate the heat.

Those aren't like numbers.

Tonga increased total atmospheric water vapor by less than .1%.

We've increased total atmospheric CO2 by about 50%.

And they are not like substances either.  


What is the ideal temperature of earth and what level of CO2 will maintain that? Bearing in mind that all photosynthesis will stop below 200 ppm and will have less benefits starting below 300 ppm.  Stop warming at the expense of stopping oxygen production?

Nonsense.  Stop drinking the global alarmist koolaide.

Co2 levels were five times higher during the cretaceous period and the dinosaurs did not mind.

Ok but man had probably heated those 51,000 swimming pools full of water before the volcano erupted so that the water would  be a comfortable temperature to swim in so it is still man's fault.
