The Hunga-Tonga eruption and subsequent injection of water (vapor) and sulfurs into the upper atmosphere is controversial I’m on the side of it being consequential for, say, a decade while many others differ (I’m in the minority 😂 as usual).

The Hunga-Tonga eruption and subsequent injection of water (vapor) and sulfurs into the upper atmosphere is controversial I’m on the side of it being consequential for, say, a decade while many others differ (I’m in the minority 😂 as usual). We’re in an unusual time in our experience living in America. There are perils on the west coast we have no experience with other than oral tales handed down by pre-technological people; the ARkStorm I mentioned is more "periodic" than we thought at first, we’re in a Maunder minimum (could be max, don’t think so, have to ✅ ✅) and we’re beginning a periodic solar minimum - fewer sun spots, quieter sun, less solar radiation, measurable but very very small. What if there’s another massive volcanic eruption equivalent to Mt. Pinatubo occurs? Would global cooling also impact upper atmosphere water and would that cause atmospheric rivers?
At the very least these impacts could would affect ENSO, and other similar global systems, sufficient that N America could have extremes of hot-cold, wet-dry; what caused the dust bowl, what’s needed for Tulare Lake to return with some permanence (disregarding man made irrigation factors).
