Most volcanic eruptions that are large enough to reach the stratosphere lead to a brief period bit of global cooling due to the impact of sulfur aerosols.
However, Hunga Tonga was unusual in that it was rich in water vapor (a powerful greenhouse gas) and low in sulfur, leading to the unusual prediction that it could cause a slight global warming.
