Hello all

but the eruptions really cool? Read the papers

Wunderlich, F., & Mitchell, D. M. (2017). Revisiting the observed surface 
climate response to large volcanic eruptions. Atmospheric Chemistry and 
Physics, 17(1), 485-499. DOI: 10.5194/acp-17-485-2017ù

Fujiwara, M., Hibino, T., Mehta, S. K., Gray, L., Mitchell, D., & Anstey, J. 
(2015) Global temperature response to the major volcanic eruptions in multiple 
reanalysis data sets. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 15, 13507–13518.

Canty, T., Mascioli, N. R., Smarte, M. D., & Salawitch, R. J. (2013) An 
empirical model of global climate-Part 1: A critical evaluation of volcanic 
cooling. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics,13, 3997.

Driscoll, S., Bozzo, A., Gray, L.J., Robock, A. and G. Stenchikov (2012) 
Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5) simulations, of climate 
following volcanic eruptions, J. Geophys. Res., 117, D17105, 
doi:10.1029/2012JD01760


In view of these the paper by Jin Hansen et al. (Hansen, J. E.,Wang,W. C., and 
A.A. Lacis, (1978) Mount Agung eruption provides test of a global climatic 
perturbation. Science, 199, 1065-1068, DOI 10.1126/science.199.4333. 1065)

should be at least  withdrawn
