The Hunga-Tonga Volcano erupted one year ago, and since then we’ve seen a 10% increase in water vapor in the stratosphere that could stay with us for 10 years. Water vapor reflects sunlight, absorbs infrared radiation, depletes ozone, moves wind currents, and changes the intensity and spectrum of sunlight that reaches plants. This seems like a big deal, right? Why is it getting almost no media attention? Combined with the other factors driving climate, what can we learn from this event?
