Volcanic Dust, Sunspots, and Temperature Trends: A calculated global surface temperature history has some similarities to known temperature histories.
Abstract
The extent to which two often proposed external causes of climatic change, volcanic dust and variations in the solar constant correlated with variable sunspot activity, might account for the general patterns of surface temperature variation since A.D. 1600 are examined. The consequences of a simple climatic model are discussed. 32 references. (BJG)

“Refinements, using data on aerosols from volcanic eruptions, showed that while cooling could result, the original Rasool and Schneider paper had overestimated cooling while underestimating the greenhouse warming contributed by carbon dioxide (Schneider and Mass 1975; Weart 2003).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
