Climate Change Has Not Stopped. Sorry, Conspiracy Theorists.

For those People Who Didn't Pay Attention in Science Class who have been drooling because they were told that the Earth is cooling off, not warming up.....   Those people who think that thousands of scientists world-wide have been falsifying data for over 50 years, while a plucky bunch of petroleum billionaires are bringing us the truth...
2010 Eruption in Iceland shut down air traffic in Europe for over a week.

Yes, recently the atmosphere has not been warming as much as before.  The cause is an increase in volcanic eruptions.  Volcanoes pump material into the air that block incoming solar radiation.

My students might remember that there were several questions on quizzes, tests, and the final exam about the effect of volcanoes on the atmosphere.
