Why did the mt. Pinatubo eruption result in global temperatures dropping two degrees?

The eruption of Pinatubo blew thousands of tons of fine ash into the upper stratosphere.

These eruptions have happened many times before; for example, the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia caused the 1816 "Year Without A Summer", a time of widespread crop failures and famine.
