Like Krakatoa, if this was a surface eruption we would be having a record cool summer, due to dust in the upper atmosphere. However, it was an underwater explosion which shot millions of tons of water vapor into the stratosphere. This increased the amount of water vapor in the upper atmosphere by 10% Water vapor is a "greenhouse" gas. Unfortunately NASA says it will take several years for water vapor levels to return to pre-explosion levels.
From NASA Aug 2, 2022 ......Water vapor from the Tonga volcano "would dissipate" "and would NOT exacerbate climate change effects".
..... From Space.com...."Earth's surface will be heating up - though its UNCLEAR by how much."
