That's a lot of pollution blown into the upper atmosphere.

Mother Nature can hiccup and cause far more pollution than man.

Truth and many do not understand.   

The question then becomes, what are they (the environmentalist activist) going to do to minimize or prevent this pollution?

Electric cars will fix it.

I don't even know where to start with that question.

While there doesn't appear to be a huge amount of beach issues from this eruption, I wonder about ships in the area of it.   Could make for one hell of a ride.  Or not.

There, fixed that.

The earth is an amazing place. 

A tsunami advisory issued for Washington coast following underwater eruption near Tonga

Sure you can. Elon Musk started  Tesla before
there were subsidies. Tesla has sold so many
electric cars that they haven't been eligible for
subsidies in over two years. Elon Musk is publicly
and seriously against subsidies. "Just delete them".

Understandable, deleting subsidies will decrease his competition.

The comment (above)  was made to those who support the notion of man made climate change and the drive of the current party in power in Washington D. C. to move to all electric cars by 2035 (or some time like that).   

The fact that these cars will be powered by fossil fuels is note worthy.  The fact that you can not power them with wind and solar is noteworthy. 

Electric cars just transfer the production of power from gasoline to fossils, hydro (not so much) and nuclear (not much either).

However, there is lots of "contrary" evidence and articles out there.  Like this....

https://science-environmental.weebly.com/elon-musk.html (https://science-environmental.weebly.com/elon-musk.html)

As evidence I submit this (again).

I apologize for the long sort of off topic post (well not on the topic of the tsunami).

The sun is a giant fusion reactor in the sky that requires no maintenance and it
blows out plenty of energy to run everything if we can figure out how to collect
it and store it. I bet we can. This is unrelated to democrats, covid or people who
want Yankees to heat their houses with heat pumps powered by windmills...
