Eva Dust Dear Eva,

I would aree to opinion described in the Forbes article

Hey there Eva Dust! So, about those volcanic eruptions and their impact on climate – it's a bit of a mixed bag. While it's true that volcanic eruptions can release significant amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which can lead to cooling by reflecting sunlight back into space, the overall impact depends on various factors.

The German Internet might throw around different opinions, but scientifically speaking, volcanic eruptions can cause short-term cooling. However, the long-term effects are less certain. The cooling is typically temporary because the particles emitted eventually settle, and the carbon dioxide released during eruptions can contribute to warming over time.

To estimate future effects, scientists use climate models that take into account eruption size, location, and the specific gases released. It's a complex dance of variables, and predicting the future is always a challenge. Climate change adds another layer of complexity, influencing the frequency and intensity of eruptions.

In a nutshell, volcanic eruptions can throw a cooling shade temporarily, but the long-term dance between cooling and warming is influenced by a multitude of factors. It's like trying to predict the next plot twist in a gripping novel – fascinating, but not always straightforward.
