Yes. Volcanic ash and soot can definitely cause cooling.
But it appears that the gigantic release of CO2 from volcanoes does not cause warming. Because CO2 doesn't actually do that. Oops.
Satellites have consistently shown less warming than computer models. About 10-12 years ago climate scientists agreed the satellite data needed to be adjusted to agree with computer models, which they have been doing ever since. Any data that doesn’t agree with computer models is adjusted until it does.
The globe is warming!
The globe isn’t warming!
It’s so confusing! What to wear?

Classic bad science right there. You get real data. From measurements in the real world. But the guy who programmed your model was expecting reality to be a little different. So, fiddle with the real data until it takes the shape that your computer programmer was expecting. Voila! Science!
The satellite data has never show global warming, which is why the warmists reject it.
Terrific stuff.
Takeaways:
1) Volcanic activity skewed the data . . . less human influence when adjusted
2) Models are not being updated with HARD DATA . . . that’s like you and I still relying on my preseason Top 20 College Football Poll to pick the CFP Playoff teams instead of game results
3) Those eruptions happened relatively early in our study period, which pushed down temperatures in the first part of the dataset, which caused the overall record to show an exaggerated warming trend, Christy said.
While volcanic eruptions are natural events, it was the timing of these that had such a noticeable effect on the trend. If the same eruptions had happened near the more recent end of the dataset, they could have pushed the overall trend into negative numbers, or a long-term cooling, Christy said.
This point is pretty damning to the hysterics . . . if the volcanoes had erupted later the data might well show a COOLING PERIOD now!
Ping.
When your data doesn’t match your political agenda, lie.
Let's not forget Indonesia's Mount Agung, which is spewing tons of ash into the skies as we speak!
Well, here is another study that will be ignored by the left.
Note also that any report of melting ice at the South Pole should probably include mention that there are at least 91 volcanoes under the southern ice. But any melting taking place is my fault.
“Global warming has not accelerated temperature...
... rise in the bulk atmosphere the rate of warming has been 0.096 degrees Celsius per decade ...”
= = =
According to the article:
Has not ACCELERATED.
But it IS rising, at a constant 0.096 deg C per decade.
Does anyone believe that a single global temperature measurement can be made to a precision or accuracy of less than 0.1 Celsius degree?
btt
LMAO
Seriously...
Ping.
It’s those dang climate models!
