Got any science backing this up? Or is it something you like to say because it sounds spectacular???

Volcanos typically emit about 10 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere annually.
The burning of fossil fuels generates a great deal more than that which would be significant, IF CO2 was warming the planet which it is not. It's a byproduct of a natural warming cycle, not a causal effect.

But here's something interesting, volcanos also dump massive amounts of sulfur dioxide and other gasses into the atmosphere, which COOL the planet.

Much like pirates, volcanos have historically had significantly more effect on our climate than the burning of fossil fuels ever has.
Ponder this for a second, with the exception of oxygen, nearly ALL of our atmosphere came out of volcanos at one time or another. And yes I can back that up with references.

Now back to the regularly scheduled programming:

You may be on to something. The absence of contrails resulting from aircraft not flying after 9/11/2001 meant slightly higher recorded temperatures world wide.

Contrails - Crystalinks


It's just water vapor folks, ignore the link - chosen at random for nice photo.
