Can you prove volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans per year?

Question

I often see people with posts stating volcano CO2 emmissions dwarf that which humans emit. The USGS proves otherwise with their data. I assume they are trying to blame volcanoes for AGW to show they are not doing the harm, so as to continue their behavior.

If you disagree, please give your proof.

Answer 1

As a geologist, I don't believe that volcanoes emit more CO2 than us.  There is more CO2 emission as well as Methane than is commonly understood but not from volcanoes.  I also don't believe there is sufficient evidence that indicates human emissions of CO2 have significantly or harmfully affected the climate.  CO2 has not driven climate change in the past.  Why do you believe that it is now doing so?

Answer 2

No. Despite what "the Great Global Swindle" says, it is a complete falsehood that volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans per year.

Answer 3

It is easy to prove. Watch the Great Global Warming Swindle. Despite the fact that the film received so much criticism, has more flaws than an apartment block, and producer Martin Durkin is thicker than the collected works of Dickens in large print, and most of the people involved later wanted to have their input removed from the film. All the information is there. And then you can endlessly quote from the film to contradict Al Gore with your proof that volcanoes emit more CO2 than humans.

Answer 4

You can't measure the CO2.  But, if you look what volcanoes do.  Yes they more than likely produce more CO2 gas.  Why the dinosuars became extinct.  Since volcanic eruptions happened quite frequently when they roamed the  Earth.

Answer 5

I think they have no way to measure they amount of co2 emitted from volcanos.  They just make an estimate.  There are many many more marine volcanos than land volcanos.  Plus, we have to assume that they seep co2 constantly, how can anyone estimate the amount?
