Climate Change CAUSED the Tonga Volcanic Eruption – Watts Up With That?

CBS: Climate Change CAUSED the Tonga Volcanic Eruption – Watts Up With That?

CBS Nate Burleson. Source Youtube, fair use, low resolution image to identify the subject.

Guest essay by Eric Worrall

Judge for yourself – on the following video, CBS anchor Nate Burleson appears to claim volcanoes are “happening, and becoming more frequent” because of climate change.

Burleson strenuously denies claiming climate change causes volcanoes.

Hey, Curt you have to listen 👂🏻 didn’t say the Volcano was caused by climate change.
Mother Nature has ways of contributing to climate change, so my point is we need to do our part to take care of this planet.

To be fair, maybe it was just a clumsy CBS studio edit, splicing current news with a segment which had been recorded earlier. But it made me laugh.
