How Do Volcanoes Affect The Climate?:
http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/feb/09/volcanoes-climate
“When volcanoes erupt, they emit a mixture of gases and particles into the air. Some of them, such as ash and sulphur dioxide, have a cooling effect, because they (or the substances they cause) reflect sunlight away from the earth."
How Do Volcanoes Affect World Climate?:
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-volcanoes-affect-w
“In 1784, Benjamin Franklin made what may have been the first connection between volcanoes and global climate while stationed in Paris as the first diplomatic representative of the United States of America."
Why Volcanic Ash Is So Terrible For Airplanes:
http://www.wired.com/2014/08/volcano-ash-planes
“The Bardarbunga Volcano in Iceland is showing signs of a potential eruption, sparking fears among airline executives that they could be facing another Eyjafjallajökull, whose 2010 eruption forced airlines to avoid huge swathes of airspace and lose billions of dollars."
Hawaii Is Chasing 100% Renewable Energy — With Active Volcanoes:

“Volcanic eruptions are one of the most awesome — and terrifying — displays of nature's fury. They can spew clouds of hot ash, streams of molten lava, and even generate giant tornadoes of fire."

“Scientists don't know all the details, but the process begins millions of years ago deep below the Pacific Ocean where the current islands are anchored to one of the rocky slabs that make up Earth’s outer crust."
After Tambora:

“If aliens had been watching the Earth during 1815 the chances are they would not have noticed the cannon fire of Waterloo, let alone the final decisions of the Congress of Vienna or the birth of Otto von Bismarck."
