Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The graph shows that global temperatures decreased in the years following the 1991 eruption of Pinatubo. This is because the eruption released large amounts of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which produced a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight back into space. There is no evidence on the graph to suggest that global carbon dioxide levels were impacted by the eruption.
