It's not human-produced carbon dioxide?
Why do leftist corporate media outlets refuse to even acknowledge the Tonga volcano as a possible driver in the recent tick-up in global warming? It's probably because it doesn't align with the narrative that human-produced carbon dioxide drives climate change.
Meteorologist Ryan Maue has offered his take on why tropical development activity remains depressed:
The Atlantic tropics are completely broken, unable to produce tropical storms even w/off the charts "climate fueled" oceans. Our models no longer work, forecasters can't figure it out. This is not normal.
