Volcanoes ARE cooling Earth: Aerosols from small eruptions have reduced global temperatures and tropical rainfall

Volcanoes may have cooled the Earth by 0.05°C to 0.12°C since 2000
Scientists had overlooked the role of aerosols from small eruptions
The aerosols accumulate between the stratosphere and troposphere
This layer of the atmosphere is difficult to study as clouds obscure it
Eruptions through 1990s and 2000s have contributed to warming 'pause'
Global temperatures plateaued since 1998 after rapid warming in 1990s
The findings mean models predicting climate change need to be revised

It would appear that Mr. Gore had no idea what he was talking about when he said, and repeated several times: "the science is settled".

And Mr. Gore would be an asshole; anyone w/any common sense - something woefully lacking in Gore - should know that volcanic activity does indeed cool atmospheric conditions...just look at Krakatoa after it went off. :O :O
