Yep. A killer whale, just 100 yards off shore, by itself (a highly social animal who are seldom seen by themselves), and no one preparing the event saw the whale surface to breath (a 6 foot high dorsal fin on a large male) until it attacked the sea lion.
You sure love those anecdotes. They "trump" facts every time....right?
Snick, snick.
This reminds me of an oil spill in California some years ago. They rescued a sea lion covered in crude and nursed it back to health. They cleaned it up and set the day for its release. The media was there, local politicians were there, and everyone was jubilant never mind it cost 17,000 for one sea lion...it was worth it! The big moment came and the sea lion slid down a carefully constructed chute. He cut the water perfectly. Everyone cheered as the sea lion headed out to sea. About a hundred yards out and in full view of the children a killer whale rose up and deftly snapped up the sea lion. One volunteered,"well, there goes $17,000." Nature is a hitch.

You sure get a lot of mileage out of a single data point. Everything from democrates calling it a lie ( a single study unheard of by most so why would they call it a lie?) to discrediting 20-30 years of data collection.
And don't forget the denier claim that any recognition of the fact we need to change our behavior means we want horses and carts to come back. Yes, the school of mines study (them weighting in on climate doesn't make you check into them?) can analyze the gas ratios (your "etched in stone" fact), but still only suggests.
One data point, by a school with ties to fossil fuel, with no follow up, isn't really anything.
I couldn't even find the actual study.
Oh, and don't forget the disclaimer.

Most have been fed fake-news before. And since they only care about the "clicks" and not the content they don't check......
Volcano eruptions are more of a symptom of why all this hand wringing about "climate changes" in an attempt to modify Man's behavior with respect to transportation and living quarters is tripe and nonsensical, unscientific bullshit.

The retort of the SocialistLiberalAntiTrumpers is: "It's a lie"!

"Earth history from 170 million years ago doesn't "lie," because it's ETCHED IN STONE!
