The whole headline is here.
Volcanoes ARE cooling Earth: Aerosols from small eruptions have reduced global temperatures and tropical rainfall
Volcanoes may have cooled the Earth by 0.05°C to 0.12°C since 2000
Scientists had overlooked the role of aerosols from small eruptions
The aerosols accumulate between the stratosphere and troposphere
This layer of the atmosphere is difficult to study as clouds obscure it
Eruptions through 1990s and 2000s have contributed to warming 'pause'
Global temperatures plateaued since 1998 after rapid warming in 1990s
The findings mean models predicting climate change need to be revised

Small volcanic eruptions over the past 20 years have been protecting the Earth from global warming, according to a new study.
Scientists have confirmed that droplets of sulphur-rich aerosols spewed into the upper atmosphere by volcanoes have been reflecting sunlight away from the Earth.
Until recently it was thought that only particularly large eruptions had any noticeable affect on the climate.
However, the new study has confirmed results from the end of last year that showed these small eruptions can have an accumulative impact on global temperature.
This could have helped decrease the global temperatures by between 0.05°C to 0.12°C over the past 15 years.

Hey, Glowbull Warning enthusiasts! Guess that man really doesn't have as much sway as you think! :whistling: :fuelfire:

Excuses, excuses..... :stoner:
I haz 2 solutions: 1. we plug the volcanoes and 2. we build a 10 mile high chimney to suck the upper atmosphere down and run it thru an air filter. Due to great difficulties and even greater expense, democrats will probably go with #2.

A simple terraformer should do the trick.

Volcanoes can change climate. Old news.
