Yes, They should have made this more clear. (they didn't).

Aerosol droplets high in the upper atmosphere reflect sunlight, and soot high in the atmosphere would do the same: a cooling of climate after a violent eruption.

But...soot on or near ground level would re-radiate infrared: warming.

Mt. Pinatubo created a ring of dark matter around the world for a period of time,the sun rays and heat blocked from reaching in,think of it as a mini-nuclear winter.
smog and soot let the heat from the sun come in but don`t let it out.warming the planet.
