We are looking for specific details about the effects of volcanic eruptions on the atmosphere such as the degree of global warming (cooling?) as a result. We would like to be able to find some data on "natural" greenhouse effect versus human influenced greenhouse effect (i.e. burning of fossil fuels). Thanx in advance.

Dear Jeff & Heather,

Have a look at question 73 in 12. Volcanoes in General in Ask a Volcanologist. If it does not answer all your questions please write us again.
