Any thought about CO2 release from such eruptions, and the long term
climate implications (relative to short term SO2 cooling)?
Here is a nice paper that compares volcanic CO2 to anthropogenic CO2:
"Volcanic vs Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide," T Gerlach, EOS v92 n24, June
14, 2011.

In an average year humans emit 100 to 200 times more CO2 than do
volcanoes. Even Pinatubo only emitted about 0.05 Gt CO2.
