Photo: For three weeks, small eruptions at Colima Volcano, in the background, have spewed ash over several towns in the area, 430 miles west of Mexico City, raising fears of an eruption like the devastating one in 1913.

Had it been a large-scale eruption (like the one in 1979) with large pyroclastic flows, many more would have been killed.

The probability of a volcano eruption like the one of Mount Tambora, Indonesia in 1815 (volcanic explosivity index = 7), which caused "the year without a summer" and famines in 1816 is about 0.1 % per year (Mason et al. 2004).

This effect has already been shown to work in nature: fine sulphate particles, called aerosols, ejected by large volcanic eruptions like that of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, have produced periods of global cooling.

Whether by seeding clouds, spreading giant mirrors in the desert, or injecting sulfates into the stratosphere, most such plans seek to replicate the effects of eruptions like Mt. Pinatubo's.

These particles could be lofted into the stratosphere to reproduce the effects of sulfate aerosols from volcanic eruptions like that of Mount Pinatubo in 1991, which was followed by a global cooling of nearly 1 degree Fahrenheit.

Q. Could an increase in volcanic eruptions counter global warming with the resulting dust, smoke and debris? A. Recent massive volcanic eruptions like those at El Chicón, in Mexico in 1982, and Mount Pinatubo, in the Philippines in 1991, undoubtedly caused at least short-term global cooling, said Nadine Unger, a research scientist at the Center for Climate Systems Research at Columbia University.
