Volcanoes and Climate Change
Wednesday, March 12, 2014 6:14
% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
The impact of volcanic eruptions on global warming could provide a new explanation for the so-called ‘pause’ in climate change. According to a recent study, models for predicting the rate at which temperatures around the world would rise from 1998 onwards did not take into consideration the measurable impact volcanoes can have. Rather than contributing to global warming, eruptions release particles into the air that reflect sunlight—causing temperatures to drop. This phenomenon was not taken into account when predictions were made—offering an explanation for why the world seemed to stop heating up. (1)

‘An explanation for why the world seems to have stopped heating up!’ This is nothing more than a miserable attempt for an apology.
What you are really saying is: you know we have been cooling for almost two decades yet have no real idea why because you consistently ignore the suns effect and status of it’s current cycle.
A Super Volcano erupting will cause an entire hemisphere, if not the planet, to rapidly plunge into a catastrophic cold cycle. The good news is that there’ll be plenty of room for all 7-8 billion of us near the equator if we can all just get along. What’s the chances?
