so the entire realm of possibilities should be put forth in the interest of science

I agree; just pointing out though that those know volcanic events all caused measurable and rapid cooling without any following warming period being reported. Just the facts...

On an entirely different point a "Black Swan" is oft quoted as the sudden appearance of an unanticipated outlier event disturbing the status quo. In truth, Black Swans existed and were plentiful and common at all times that they were believed not to exist. They still are a common and widely distributed species in Australia as they were at the time of the European discovery and settlement.

The "Black Swan" effect was really a failure of knowledge and communications. Black Swans didn't suddenly come into being. They were always there but the people in the Northern Hemisphere who had never seen them were unaware of their existence and assumed that they did not exist.
