you might want to reconsider that...

Volcanic Gases and Climate Change Overview

Volcanoes can impact climate change. During major explosive eruptions huge 
amounts of volcanic gas, aerosol droplets, and ash are injected into the 
stratosphere. Injected ash falls rapidly from the stratosphere -- most of it is 
removed within several days to weeks -- and has little impact on climate 
change. But volcanic gases like sulfur dioxide can cause global cooling, while 
volcanic carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, has the potential to promote global 
warming.

personally speaking, i don't think i would like to live in an atmosphere of 
sulfur dioxide, a toxic gas with a irritating, rotten and pungent smell... 
current small concentrations of roughly 1 part per billion are ok for the most 
part but more than that would be quite bad... especially considering that it is 
a major pollutant and has severe impact on human, plant and animal health...
