Small volcanic eruptions add to larger impact on climate

The recent slow down in global warming has been attributed to a number of factors, including excess heat being stored in the deep ocean and reductions of certain greenhouse gases. Now add volcanic eruptions to the mix of contributing factors, writes Bryan Kahn for Climate Central.

A new analysis published in Nature Geoscience on Sunday shows that a series of relatively small eruptions since 2000 have likely helped dampen the rise in temperatures.
