Surely global warming denialists live in daily fear of being forced to pay higher taxes and be forced to live with greater restrictions in their lives, if global warming if finally proven to be true, rather than a hoax.

A SINGLE volcano can emit MORE greenhouse gasses that mankind has EVER emitted in ALL mankind's years on earth, yet you STILL view mankind as causing global warming or climate change.


Really???

Yeah I do. Man is destroying this planet and I'm not sure how long it will be around.

You mean a single CATASTROPHIC volcano. Things go extinct on this planet when temperatures change... remember the dinosaurs? We don't need to speed up the death of our great-great-grandchildren just 'cuz we'll be too dead to notice.

Carbon dioxide is being trapped in our atmosphere, and it's preventing heat from escaping... I don't care if dinosaurs died from cold; that won't prevent us from dying from heat.

You are wrong.

Human activities, responsible for a projected 35 billion metric tons (gigatons) of CO2 emissions in 2010 (Friedlingstein et al., 2010), release an amount of CO2 that dwarfs the annual CO2 emissions of all the world’s degassing subaerial and submarine volcanoes (Gerlach, 2011).

The published estimates of the global CO2 emission rate for all degassing subaerial (on land) and submarine volcanoes lie in a range from 0.13 gigaton to 0.44 gigaton per year (Gerlach, 1991; Varekamp et al., 1992; Allard, 1992; Sano and Williams, 1996; Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998). The preferred global estimates of the authors of these studies range from about 0.15 to 0.26 gigaton per year. The 35-gigaton projected anthropogenic CO2 emission for 2010 is about 80 to 270 times larger than the respective maximum and minimum annual global volcanic CO2 emission estimates. It is 135 times larger than the highest preferred global volcanic CO2 estimate of 0.26 gigaton per year (Marty and Tolstikhin, 1998).
