global warming period of since 1970.
The Little Ice Age following the Medieval Warm Period ended due to a slight
increase in solar output (changes
in both thermohaline circulation and
volcanic activity also contributed), but that
increase has since reversed, and

activity are now going
in opposite directions.

volcanic activity in the geological past
increased global temperatures by emitting substantial volumes of greenhouse gases.

in an
increase in major

volcanic activity to
increase and
global cloud coverage to
increase while less EUV light should result
in a more meridional atmospheric circulation which would also result
in more clouds and also greater snow coverage.
In the study (Kathleen Compton, Richard A. Bennett, and Sigrun Hreinsdottir, «Climate driven vertical acceleration of Icelandic crust measured by CGPS geodesy,» Geophysical Research Letters 42 (3): 743 — 750, 2015) the authors don't try to blame «
