Once again, Anthony has highlighted a paper claiming that volcanoes have great power over the global temperature. Indeed, they go so far as to say:
From the reconstruction it can be seen that large eruptions, such as Mount Tambora in 1815, or clusters of eruptions, may result in a hiatus of over 20 years, a finding supported by model results.
SOURCE: Determining the likelihood of pauses and surges in global warming, Andrew P. Schurer et al, hereinafter Schurer2015, paywalled here.
Here we go again, sez I, another excuse for the current temperature plateau … and right out of the box, I note that we are dealing with a “reconstruction”, with findings that are “verified by model results”. Be still, my beating heart …
So I thought I’d give their claim a looksee by comparing their recent (post-1800) eruption dates with the Berkeley Earth land…
