Do erupting volcanoes add to global warming?
Volcanoes are intensively studied and research has been conducted on the amount of CO2 emitted from Volcanoes compared with that by humans. It’s thought that humans emit 150 times as much as all the volcanoes emit. (0.7%). Currently volcanoes emit only 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year compared to 24 billion tons released due to human activity. http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/V… (Scroll down.) http://volcano.und.nodak.edu/vwdocs/Gase… Man-made (anthropogenic) CO2 emissions overwhelm volcanic CO2 emissions by at least 150 times. http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/Gases/man.… http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Hazards/What/V… Most of the emissions a
