FOX-
A massive undersea volcano that erupted in Tonga last year reportedly disrupted satellite signals halfway around the world.
Since then, an international team of researchers has used satellite- and ground-based observations of the ionized part of the Earth’s upper atmosphere, or the ionosphere, to demonstrate that an air pressure wave triggered by volcanic eruptions could produce an “equatorial plasma bubble,” a hole that formed In the equatorial areas of the ionosphere, that severely disrupts satellite-based communications.
An equatorial plasma bubble, or EPB, can delay radio waves as well as degrade the performance of GPS. Disruptions to the ionization of the ionosphere, where molecules and atoms are ionized by solar radiation, and subsequent creation of a density gradient of electrons can cause the formation of the EPB.

Global warming. Mother Gaia is upset. Or whatever.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand amaaazingly the Global Warmists stay silent about Nature’s Farts that far outweigh our emissions

That was my second guess.
Kinda cool that a pressure wave can dusrupt satellite communication.
Wonder how our military would hold up after an artificial event such as this.
Tech is helpful, unless you’re fully dependent on it…

Wonder if those new satellite phones still work?
laughable. somehow the governing powers believe the expert class has any credibility. i would be more inclined to believe what tongan history has been handed down through the generations. expert class is gone, its all propaganda and money grubbing carpet baggers these days.
Wait till the solar micro Nova compresses our magnetosphere and those electrons make it to the surface!
Kinda like farting in the bathtub. Sometimes it makes your eyes water.
Sounds like someone is building a case for “why” the entire system just collapsed.
