Not really. Here's some fun reading.
From what I can tell from surveying a few papers, it takes a whole lot of large events of a particular type to strongly influence climate. Even that is in question. Amusingly it seems that for those that think volcanoes have an effect on climate, it seems it is global cooling not warming. Guess its been a while since I did any reading on that topic.

Now, on with the witch burning...
