The Vancouver Sun reported on UBC research that found climate change could impede the cooling effect of volcanic eruptions.
“Volcanic eruptions also release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and that can have a warming effect, but on a 100 million-year time scale,” said Thomas Aubry, a PhD candidate studying climate and volcanoes. “That effect is negligible compared with the cooling effect of sulphur gases.”
The story also appeared in the Ottawa Citizen and Regina Leader-Post.
