However, did it really cause changes to the regional/European climate in
the years 1783, 1784 etc?

No, see, sulphur is not easily converted to sulphuric acid. I don't know
the whys and wherefores but the underlying tendency to describe sulphur
oxides as sulphuric acid, while irritating from news reporters, is in
chronic bad taste from scientific journals.

One would suspect that there is an abject need for it to be sulphuric
acid to fit their needs and explanations.

Is it anything to do with the fact that the peresence of sulphur dioxide
in dilute quantities is beneficial? Or does it not fit the climate
models or what?
