It’s been three days since the volcanic eruption and tsunami in Tonga – but the full scale of the destruction is only now beginning to emerge.
The government says several smaller islands have had to be evacuated – because nearly every home there was destroyed.

climate change 😔
@American Infidel well explain please. i am not making up anything. explain whatever you are saying. explain how climate change and vlacono eruptions are related and is there any impact of climate change in volcanic activities.
@American Infidel i called you an idiot based on what is out there. say it to yourself what you just said rn. suits you better
@American Infidel You’re so stupid you made me laugh. I’m guessing your country is a cat litter box like the middle east because people like you are to lazy to make it better. 🤣
@Dustin Tacohands climate change doesn’t cause it to erupt but the eruption will cause climate change to the surrounding areas
@tabusoro 2018 I know it’s a huge ash cloud nice lighting
Can only be caused by a nuclear torpedo exploding in the ocean floor, only 2 countries have them- Russia and the U.S.
Oh WTF ever, you moron. Paranoid conspiracists are quick off the mark. This is a VOLCANO. Look it up, if you can read.
@derekbd I was expecting this kind of flaccid response from you, not surprising, from those with limited discernment, INFERIOR I.Q. and mental impediment. volcano because that’s what the media told you? hahahahaha you clown. the lack of a superior command of language resorts to just ” WTF”.

@derekbd If you took the time to translate it you would of seen this is a 15 year old girl displaced from the war in Yemen who lost her father and does not have food or a place to live.
@masskilla469 Might be a scammer. These comments are appearing everywhere.
@One Peace usually scammers ask for something but she didn’t just for prayers for her family.
Innalillahi wa inna elayhe rozeun
@masskilla469 They are asking for money.
Humans will still be blamed for this
I bet the Brandon administration will blame the Orange Man and January 6th rioters. 🤣🤣
❤❤❤😍😍😟😟
Cyclical changes on earth, unfortunately we are not able to change it.
or cause it!
@American Infidel but, to my knowledge, it will be a first if a whole nation has to leave their state due to a natural disaster of epic proportions! if that volcano keeps making trouble, all we can do is help the tongans start some1where else i guess. 😮
This was man made. “Global warming” is a deception by the globalists.
Quick we must protect the environment by stopping it from being an environment.
I mean mean why not just live in a plastic dome at that point.
Was it nuclear
May as well been… I bet it put a few nukes to shame
@Dustin Tacohands 😊 You’re not helping in the fight against ignorance, Dustin, buy I like your comments. ✌🏼
Mishit nuclear..
Well, get the UN out there and write that volcano a strongly worded letter for erupting snd polluting…
A stern letter to The Times of London should seal it.
That was one of the big zits of the earth…
“Scientists”… i wonder who those are. Must be the same behind corona.
Lets forbid volcano eruptions!!! This is unnacceptable!! I think also people should be taxated for having volcano eruptions on the planet.
How that Tongan speaker of parliament can be contacted?
You can literally Google the contact information for their government offices. I just asked for tourist information, maybe my timing is off.
Joe Biden just found another reason to turn the US back to the stone age: no electricity, no heating fuel, no gasoline. You all just sit at home in your box in the cold and shut up.
Nature rules
Dear Nandi and two handfuls of rice, the new son-in-law came ho

BIDEN AND THE WORLD LEADERS DONT CARE THEY HAVE MONEY AND SPACE SHIPS TO LEAVE EARTH
The masks are finally useful.
Bahahaha 😆
Great comment.
That’s about all they’re good for.
Why don’t they send Ships to Tonga Islands? Because you know it is way worse then Government will admit!!
@American Infidel Thank God but they should of left days ago.
I wonder if volcanos have anything to do with climate change 🤔
Lol what
The climate has been changing for 6 billion years. Nothing new to see here.
Well it could be actually good for global warming. When the Philippine volcano Mount Pinatubo erupted in 1991, the resulting sulphuric acid haze suppressed global temperatures by 0.5C.
Yes they wants to push more carbon to saturation point of no carbon..
It’s amazing this guys brain has the capacity to even keep breathing. Can we take a moment to recognize that.
You need to also publish on Rumble.
Lord, please help them sweep them rooftops
They should get Mary Poppins over there, I heard she’s dating a chimney sweep. 🤣
Bombs planted on the side of the volcano
Delivery to the location by a shark with laser beam 😀
May be secret underground pit under Pacific seabed.
No. No. And no. It was a volcanic eruption. These have been happening for billions of years. There’s 0 evidence that this was caused by bombs. On the contrary, there’s tons of evidence against this being a bomb.
Well placed nuke !!
@MrPeterbs Make sure you check out what’s been going on with Russia & Nato.
There are no nuclear weapons powerful enough to create an explosion of that magnitude, your perception of the power of nuclear weapons has been warped by media and science fiction, this volcanic eruption was significantly more powerful than all of the 2,000+ nuclear weapons ever detonated on Earth combined, we are not capable as a species of imitating this sort of power so please humble yourself.
@Apothe Yes they are able to. The military lol. California wild fires are created by D.E.W. Direct energy weapon via military planes. They can create earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions via HAARP technology or any bombs, nuke or whatever
Well placed idiocracy. You really think volcanic eruptions are caused by nukes? Please. Get real. A nuke would one, single, singular explosion. This eruption lasted hours. Since when do nukes take hours to explode? Those of you who believe it was man made, firstly you need help mentally. Secondly provide evidence for your claims.
It wasn’t a nuke, emphasis on wasn’t. It was a volcanic eruption.
@Sigi Soltau …guess you missed the missile,many others didn’t !!!!
Cargo ships don’t need a runway. Flights are too dangerous with the ash .
I claim the new island 🏝
Thank you, Al Jazeera!
What?
Man-made. Brought to you by the globalist satanic elites. All for their New World Order.
How could something that is part of the environment, part of the circle-of-life in that part of the world, damage the environment? This is how the environment works. This isn’t damage, this is part of life on Earth.
Isn’t that what Starlink internet is for?
No more than fracking, off shore drilling, air pollution. Probably better for the environment because it is natural
nature is proving to humans that it rules the planet… earth has been here before and people are going to see what nature is capable of doing, nothing humans can do to stop it.
How dare that volcano do what volcanos do !
Greta Thunberg: “How dare you?”
Sanctions for Tonga?
Stay strong Tonga help is on the way.
We should retitle this, volcano damages human living conditions. The environment has been dealing with us and mother nature’s own antics.
We’ll see what effect it has on the weather
That’s good the environment of sorcery not of divine.
this eruption is reminiscent of the 1991 Pinatubo eruption where there was a year with no summer cuz of the ash that blanketed the world
@Sigi Soltau dont say it’s stupid just cause’ you cant comprehend it
@Philippe Ochoa Oh I can comprehend it. How stupid it is. Why would they do this? What’s the point? Don’t say its because I don’t understand. Point is there’s no reason. How did they do this 100 years ago? Why does every disaster have to be man made?
These events are purely natural, mostly. With fires some are caused by arson, that I admit is possible and has happened. But fires caused by direct energy weapons? Proof please. The other disasters you mentioned, all natural, especially earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Unless you got actually evidence to back you up, I’m going to ignore you. Saying I should do my own research doesn’t count. You make the claim, you provide the evidence.
Besides, I did do my own research long ago. Guess what I found for these claims. No evidence whatsoever. Just conspiracy nutter nonsense.
@Sigi Soltau Look up videos right now about Direct Energy Weapon from planes. All you have to do is question everything & have an open mind. How can neighborhoods have burned up houses & cars, but the trees of the neighborhoods are all standing up & untouched? Please look it up & do your research on it. Also, look up Rapid Evaporation by geothermal power plants
@Sigi Soltau there’s a reason. It’s called the New World Order or the Great Reset. The corona virus is also a plandemic. Right now WW3 is about to start. The freemasons call it “Order out of Chaos”. Once all the chaos are here, then we’ll be forced to accept the solution they will provide. New World Order is real. It aint no longer a conspiracy.
@Philippe Ochoa Because it depends on what tree species it is. Some trees are adapted to fires and can remain unscathed. Geothermal plants use the earth’s heat to boil water to make steam to spin turbines. They use the geothermal energy of the earth itself, hence the name.
Also can’t you read? I asked you, you yourself to provide evidence and not come up with this nonsense “do your own research” bullslcrap. Either provide the evidence or get lost with this nonsense.
Protip: If the earth is doing something naturally that has been building for a thousand years. That’s not damaging the environment that IS the environment.
well said
True. But it would take years for it to recover, especially if it’s islands hundreds of kilometers from major a landmass.
Why are aid ships not on their way? Seems like that’s cheaper, easier, and faster than flights given the conditions.
Ok. You people are stupid….
mega dangerously volcano mega disaster
Nature never damage itself..it replenish itself..you unnatural flying donkey cult follower..
So we should start banning volcano now ?
