How about combine them?
The UN's Global Climate Initiative was going strong, and the world looked like it was entering a new phase of peace and hope. Then (insert mid-tier nuclear power) fell into civil war. Nobody now knows whether the insurgents seized the nukes for a suicide attack, or if the government forces initiated the detonations themselves to deny the rebels their victory. Then when (insert giant volcano) erupted, the combined effect sent the GCI futilely scrambling to halt or even reverse their project.
