Actually, when volcano's release particles into the atmosphere, they have a tendency to block out solar radiation from hitting the earth. This has a cooling effect on the climate.
Also, Volcano's are a natural part of the carbon sink and of the climate system. Where as people releaseing more carbon into the atmosphere is not at a natural rate. Thus adding more to the system than it can re-absorb.
