Absolutely, and I wish you the best of luck in representing your views to your father. I know how painful such a disconnect can be. This is a good intro to the broad issue of volcanoes and climate: http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vclimate.html http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vclimate.html A more in-depth treatment of sulfur aerosols in the upper atmosphere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_sulfur_aerosols https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_sulfur_aerosol... Here’s a breakdown of all the gasses typically releases during eruptions and their various effects: http://volcanology.geol.ucsb.edu/gas.htm http://volcanology.geol.ucsb.edu/gas.htm If there’s anything else I can do, please don’t hesitate to ask.

Thank you so much! I will send them all three. Just because you offered and you seem so knowledgeable, he has also claimed the CFC damage to the ozone layer was a hoax created to promote alternative refrigerants... If you have anything on that I could use a link as well!

  My pleasure, and I have a great link that goes into the exact mechanism of how CFC photochemistry destroys the ozone layer. https://scied.ucar.edu/ozone-layer https://scied.ucar.edu/ozone-layer Here’s one with more technical analysis along with the exact chemistry: http://www.theozonehole.com/ozonedestruction.htm http://www.theozonehole.com/ozonedestruction.htm Here’s a broad overview with historical perspectives from the American Chemical Society: https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/cfcs-ozone.html https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry... I hope this helps.
