Under the Shroud of Mt. Pinatubo's Massive Climate Impact

When Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it was a truly catastrophic event. Its gasses spread across the globe, and led to measurable cooling. Recently, climate scientist John Fasullo and his colleagues made a surprising discovery regarding that climatic shift. Combining altimeter data with computer modeling, the researchers learned that Mt. Pinatubo's cooling event delayed the sea-level rise scientists have been expecting from global warming. The researchers presented their findings in Scientific Rep
