There was a Pacific Ocean volcano eruption recently. The news didn't make a big deal out of it except telling us the resulting tsunami was massive. Not many news sites also mentioned fact that the debris left in the atmosphere was equivalent to 500 atom bombs, the size of which were dropped on Hiroshima. Since the explosion wasn't man made Al Gore had no comment. "Hey, Al, the earth has a fever and my car didn't have anything to do with it."
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization in Vienna, Austria — which monitors atomic tests — said the shockwave from the underwater blast could be detected all the way in Antarctica, a sign that it’s one of the biggest explosions in history, according to NPR.
- Overall, 53 detectors around Earth heard the boom from the eruption.
- “Every single station picked it up,” Ronan Le Bras, a geophysicist with the organization, told NPR. “It’s the biggest thing that we’ve ever seen.” https://www.sciencenews.org/article/tonga-volcano-eruption-history-south-pacific
