Are there any climate scientist studying the affects of the eruption?
-

-
Yes, about thousands of them. Just like with every major eruption since before this one last blew in 1963 (by the way, that time it briefly cooled the planet about 0.2 degrees C)
-
I'd read something recently about how volcanic eruptions cool the atmosphere by the ash cloud blocking sunlight. I think we'd probably have to blow something like Yellowstone to make a huge difference.
-
Yes, that’s true. The dark ages were caused in part by increased volcanism causing a global temperature drop of about 1c. But that requires hundreds of Mt Agungs spread over many decades. The last time Agung exploded (1963) there was a cooling of about 0.2c for a year

A dangerous, yet beautiful sight. I find no end in the amount of wonder I have for the power of Mother Nature. What a wonderful world!

So much for global warming. Penalize them. How dare they allow that to happen.

And that’s enough emissions to out pace all global warming
-
There will be short term minor cooling from the ash and sulfur - When Agung blew in 1963 it briefly caused about a 0.2C drop in the average global temperature. But the effect of even large volcanoes are short — Pinatubo cooled the planet for about 3 years.
