Which climatic effect results when volcanic aerosols drastically increase Earth's albedo?

💡 Explanation

When volcanic aerosols increase albedo, a greater fraction of incoming solar radiation is reflected back to space because of increased planetary reflectance, leading to lower radiative forcing. Therefore, a global temperature decrease is observed, rather than ozone changes, ENSO intensification or thermohaline slowdown, which depend on other mechanisms.
