Pinatubo in June 1991 produced a large, transient increase of stratospheric aerosols which resulted in a surface cooling over about 2 years estimated from observations to be about 0.4 C, consistent with model simulations which predicted a global mean cooling of 0.4 to 0.6*C. * Global carbon budget - New estimates of terrestrial carbon uptake during the 1980s have better quantified...
