I pulled the paper. The abstract is missing the most important part at the end (with images of other chunks that are quite important to pull into context)
End of summary:
> From a global perspective, volcanic eruptions are rela-
tively random events, and the two small quasi-periodic components are difficult to quantify, especially in terms of aerosol production. In addition, an isolated volcanic erup- tion of large magnitude can have a temporary climatic impact much greater than that due to the mean volcanic background [Rampinoetal., 1988].In spite of these problems and of the remaining possibility that the derived quasi-periodicities are just statistical artifacts, appropriate volcanic forcing terms will have to be included in future global climate modeling. The present results provide a first reconnaissanceof the statistical problems involved.
