Could Volcano eruptions be Earth's way of stabilizing climate change? i.e. sea water gets warmer and is no longer keeping the eruptions from occurring. Then the eruptions causes a drop in temperature due to the ash in the atmosphere?

I remember reading about that Malaysian flight that got lost few years ago in the indian ocean and apparently this area is so uncommon that the closest ships are often more than 1 thousand kilometers away.
The only ships that could be there would be local, but there was an eruption and tsunami alert issued the day before, so I guess that would only leave ships doing work related to the volcano itself.
Interesting, this prompted me to read[1] into how it works and made me interested in why we don't pump sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to help cool down the planet and buy us more time to transition off of CO2/CH4 emitting processes? Is it cost prohibitive? We already cloud seed pretty often so there's infrastructure in place for a large scale operation?
