The linked article has a very nice picture of a volcanic eruption cloud from an anonymous volcano. It'd be nice to have a full-size version of that picture for my files.

The so-called "Year Without A Summer" after Krakatau blew up in the 1800s stands testament to this. So, fire up the coal-fired powerplants and save the planet, lol.

Ocean temperatures might have risen even higher during the last century if it weren't for volcanoes that spewed ashes and aerosols into the upper atmosphere, researchers have found. The eruptions also offset a large percentage of sea level rise caused by human activity.

So, then, volcanoes are saving the world from global warming?

Should we then cause more volcanic eruptions by nuking a few of them whenever global warming starts getting out of hand?

Or, are volcanoes part of the natural events which help the planet in self-regulating its weather? If that's the case, global warming and global cooling are manisfestations of that self-regulating planetary activitiy.

Another batch of scientists that are wrong, Why cant they realise that humans are effecting the earth, not small thing like cyclical earth changes ,or volcanoes, or earthquakes. After all didnt George Bush just cause a big hurricane?. The natural changes of the earth are all the fault of humans.

Using 12 new state-of-the-art climate models

That is one of the main problems with Environmental "Science" why "new" models and why "12 models"? This raises questions as to how the results of the models were combined, or which models were accepted and which models were rejected.

It would seem that "Scientists" might be able to pick and choose results that confirmed their prejudices.
