Volcanic Gases and Climate Change Overview

While sulfur dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has occasionally caused detectable global cooling of the lower atmosphere, the carbon dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has never caused detectable global warming of the atmosphere. This is probably because the amounts of carbon dioxide released in contemporary volcanism have not been of sufficient magnitude to produce detectable global warming. For example, all studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions indicate that present-day subaerial and submarine volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released currently by human activities.
Not so fast...

Grow up. Stop being so ignorant and self-hating!
"Ignorant and self-hating?" That's quite juvenile name calling and not very creative. Are you still in grade school? Is everyone you disagree with "self-hating?"

Maybe you didn't notice but my OP was a quote from credible sources, not from me.

I'm sorry too because I also want to protect the earth for future generations. That's why the AGW alarmists are so evil. They have diverted a huge amount of money and energy away from true pollutants.

Yes, the pollutants we put into the air does affect the atmosphere. Fortunately, CO2 is not a pollutant.

How much money and energy?

What are true pollutants?

You do realize pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Oxygen can become a pollutant in sufficient concentrations.

Ah yes, the old "everyone is stupid but me and those who agree with me". Oh how convenient.

I sincerely wish you people who are die hard believers in this scam watch the video posted in the 2nd post of this thread. Maybe you don't realize that you are being played for fools, used only as a tool in an attempt to fundamentally transform Western civilization into a marxist culture.

Do some soul searching. Is it possible you are being lied to? Is it possible people are willfully causing you to react based upon emotion rather than use logic and common sense? Is it possible that there is an agenda, one not based on weather, climate, saving the earth, etc. that is driving the claim of the alarmists? Is it possible... ?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. So miners and manufacturers who represent a + trillion dollar a year global industry have no reason to lie to you? Cause you to make decisions based on emotion? Is it possible they have an agenda that would want to continue to be able to pollute cheaply?

Seriously.... the conspiracy theories work both ways.... Except the "green movement" ain't close to the bankroll the other side has.
