I think it's more that people who study the past ascribe violence (such as revolutions) to people going hungry, and they also associate hunger with short term (on the scale of a few years) climate.
Then on top of that, the largest volcanic eruptions (e.g. Tambora [1]) are known to impact the global climate in ways that are measurable, and indeed even observable to the layperson, over the scale of a few years.
It seems like it might be a legitimate line of scientific inquiry.
