Very helpful, and resolves my own uncertainty about the matter.

Regarding the deniers, my favorite of your writings was a sneak-preview of an IPCC report that was embargoed for a few more days. You previewed the contents of the report this way: “You morons, we’ve been telling you this for 30 years ...” Got a great chuckle out of that.

Dr. Dressler, thank you very much for using your time to post this. For me, a great learning experience. My previous discussions with a physical oceanographer leads me to conclude that most of the environmental risks, damages and loss of lives, was due to tsunamis, near and very distant, and--- "shockwaves", detected as faraway as Europe. Rather than listing individual citations, here is a pretty good summary with great graphics: https://www.theclimatebrink.com/p/the-climate-impact-of-the-hunga-tonga . cheers
