Volcanic ash and sulfur dioxide spewed out of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. These materials can reflect incoming solar radiation. Over the next few years, what do you think happened?

The suspended ash made for some some spectacular sunsets! Sulfuric acid was spread worldwide, increasing acidity of rain. Ash deflected energy from the sun, causing a slight drop on global temps for a few years.
