Global Warming

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) That's an assumption for which there is no real proof. Some think the European Dark Ages were called that because it was 'dark' from large amounts of ash in the sky creating shorter growing seasons, a harder life with less leisure time, and no time to do science... until the 'renaissance.'

I agree with most of the rest of your comments.

Nobody is saying that the volcanoes don't have an impact, but the more data is being collected it's impact seems to be getting less and less. Now they're down to just a few percent.

And they need more to account for the rise of temperature as we see today.

This is just one of those "dammit, the tree hugger's were right moments". At least it was for me.

Oh. You misunderstood my intent or perhaps I wasn't clear... I meant that they add to global cooling due to creating clouds that shade the surface of the earth. How much is unknown because it's only been this last century that we can measure changes that may have been influenced by volcanic activity AND it's generally agreed that in terms of geologic time... the last century, has been volcanically quiet.
