Interestingly, this graph shows volcanic activity declining after the passage of the clean air act - perhaps the gods of volcanism heard our pleas.
In all likelihood, yeah, it was a combination of the two factors, but it did bug me that they ignored below-average global volcanism post 1970.
- wycx 10y agoGlobal volcanic activity is an imperfect proxy, however. For instance, about 20% of present day global volcanic SO2 emissions are from a few volcanoes in Vanuatu (Yasur, Lopevi, Ambrym, Ambae, Gaua and Vanua Lava).
