This would be considered a hate crime if the races were reversed.

But since they’re not nobody will care.

That’s Biden’s America.

We've normalized hate while criminalizing people who just want to live their lives.

@Right_in_Virginia

And they the bleeping nerve to question my post because I had the temerity to point out his prowess in handling the media and his haters.

You really need to get over yourself.

Lava, the molten rock that erupts from volcanoes, can reach extremely high temperatures. Let’s break it down:

Cooler Lava: When lava emerges from a volcano, it can be as “cool” as a pizza oven, with temperatures around 570°F (298°C)1. Imagine a bubbling, fiery pizza crust!

Intermediate Lava: The dark red lava seen slowly crawling across parts of Hawaii typically measures around 895°F (480°C)1. It’s like a simmering cauldron of heat.

Bright Red Lava: In Hawaii, the bright red lava flows can get as hot as 1,165°F (629°C), while the glowing orange flows surpass 1,600°F (871°C)1. These temperatures are scorching!

Magma Melting: When rock is seriously melting, such as the magma within the Hawaiian volcano Kilauea, it can reach an astonishing 2,120°F (1,160°C)1. That’s hotter than a dragon’s breath!
So, in terms of bananas (because why not?), lava is way beyond the melting point of chocolate or ice. It’s more like a cosmic oven baking at thousands of degrees Fahrenheit!

 It's easy to see how outside temperatures 1-2 degrees warmer can affect cold, 570 degrees, lava and cause the volcano to erupt. :laughingdog:

Hunga Tonga Volcano is “Most Likely” Cause of Recent Warm Temperatures
BY CHRIS MORRISON 26 MARCH 2024 7:00 AM

The climate events of 2022-24 have been “truly extraordinary”, notes Dr. Javier Vinós writing in Dr. Judith Curry’s online blog. The rare convergence of a number of events “that may not be repeated for hundreds or even thousands of years” represents a “unique learning opportunity” for climatologists. Interestingly, Dr. Vinós downplays the roll of the current El Niño. He says that the January 2022 Hunga Tonga underwater volcanic eruption, that boosted upper atmospheric water vapour by a remarkable 10%, is the most likely cause of the recent warming, which in turn led to an unprecedented three sudden stratospheric warming events. As the excess water leaves the atmosphere, observes Vinós, it will induce a cooling effect at the surface potentially lowering temperatures for the next three to four years.

The Hunga Tonga eruption was an extraordinary event since it blasted an enormous amount of water vapour into the upper atmosphere without the usual volcanic ash. Dust particles spread throughout the atmosphere can have a temporary cooling effect, as in 1815 with the Mount Tambora explosion, but water vapour has warming properties and is considered the most potent ‘greenhouse’ gas. “Unlike the lower troposphere, where the greenhouse effect is relatively saturated, the stratosphere, well above the Earth’s average emission altitude (about 6 km), experiences a much more pronounced effect from the addition of water vapour,” he observes.

The unusual weather events over the last few months have been catnip to alarmists in the general ranks of media, science and politics. The strictures of following the Net Zero political agenda mean that large swathes of climate science are ‘settled’ and out of bounds for discussion. All the changes in the weather and climate are due to humans using hydrocarbons, state the authorities. The constant catastrophising of the recent weather has largely ignored natural variation, and so the heat transfers of El Niño and the boosting of water vapour from Hunga Tonga are relegated to subsidiary footnotes.

That's not going to convince the QAnon deciples with their tin foil hats convinced this was either terrorism or a false flag.
Sad to say, no number of facts can dissuade the Qnuts from the latest conspiracy.

The recent demolishing of another Solar Farm, this time in Texas, means the meteorological community, if they had a lick of objectivity, should be pushing for temperature sensors as a requirement for the solar farms. This illustration:

from a Twitter handle, True Science illustrates precisely the concern. That we are creating a version of Heat Island on steroids with absolutely no regard for the impact. Have studies been done? They can’t be complete since the sample size has been so small. Yet it makes sense that if you want to replace the natural environment with an artificial one, there are going to be consequences.

It is akin to rushing forward with a vax with no long-term study or proof. There are going to be unintended (or perhaps, in this case, intended, since these things increase warming) consequences. See yet another COVID/ Climate link.
