Climate change to dampen cooling effects of moderate volcanic eruptions
Washington DC (UPI) Aug 12, 2021
The ongoing transformation of Earth's atmosphere, fueled by runaway greenhouse gas emissions, will shrink the cooling effects of small- and medium-sized eruptions by as much as 75 percent, according to new research. Conversely, the study - published Thursday in the journal Nature Communications - suggests the cooling effects of larger eruptions will be amplified by global warming.
