Singer, the lead author, called it a “negative feedback loop” for the climate. “If you start getting more eruptions underneath ice that is thinning, you could more rapidly cause the ice sheet to slide into the ocean”

Its certainly an odd choice for this article to never make reference to the cooling effect caused by volcanic eruptions, as if that doesnt exist. It talks about them belching CO2 into the atmosphere, among other things, but fails to point out that massive eruptions putting shit into the air reflects sunlight and generally cools global temperatures.

Now, Im not saying that aspect really improves things, because even if we cool for a bit we will just ultimately flip back into the warming cycle in the long run. Not to mention a volcanic ice age would mean millions of people starve to death. But its just very odd to me for volcanologists to not talk about that aspect of volcanos, especially when they are actively talking about the last ice ages. Ice ages (or mini ones) that were caused by volcanic eruptions. Like the volcanic winter of 538.

Just an odd journalistic choice
