The eruption of Mt. Pinatubo spewed megatons of light particulate into the air, lowering earth's albedo, which caused temperatures to drop. As this particulate settled out, the temperature climbed back up. In addition, small amounts of carbon dioxide were emitted. This heat trapping gas lingers for extended periods of time, which would typically elevate temperature slightly after the initial dip. Many millions of years ago extensive volcanic out-gassing ultimately raised earth's temperature.
