Rampino, M.R., S. Self, and R.W. Fairbridge, 1979: Can rapid climatic change cause volcanic eruptions? Science, 206, 826-829, doi:10.1126/science.206.4420.826.

Many major volcanic eruptions coincide with cooling trends of decadal or longer duration that began significantly before the eruptions. Dust veils provide positive feedback for short-term (less than 10 year) global cooling, but seem unlikely to trigger glaciations or even minor climate fluctuations in the 10-to 100-year range. On the contrary, variations in climate lead to stress changes on the earth's crust — for instance, by loading and unloading of ice and water masses and by axial and spin-rate changes that might augment volcanic (and seismic) potential.
