Agence France-Presse: SMALL VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS could be slowing global warming by spewing out sulphur molecules that can reach the upper atmosphere and reflect sunlight away from the Earth, US scientists said on Tuesday. Researchers have long known that volcanoes can protect against global warming, but they did not think that minor eruptions did much to the atmosphere. The latest findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters show that small volcanic eruptions have deflected almost twice the amount of solar radiation...

Amid talk in Washington about corporate tax reform, the study said the seven companies, which in 2013 reported more than $74 billion in combined U.S. pre-tax profits, came out ahead on their taxes, gaining $1.9 billion more than they owed.
