How much CO2 spewed by a volcano?

Question

Funny how the global warming chicken littles aren't whining and wringing their hands over the volcano erupting in Chile. All that CO2 and other greenhouse gases being shot high into the atmosphere. More CO2 than mankind put up since we have been here. But not one so called scientist is claiming this will contribute to global warming. Funny.

Answer 1

Not much.

Your numbers are wrong.  Got a source?  The volcano in Chile is not emitting anything like what man emits.

In fact, volcanoes emit less than 1% of what we emit.  Proof:

There's a REASON why scientists aren't worried about this volcano causing global warming.  They KNOW its' emissions are far too small.

Answer 2

It's quite simple. We can't do anything about CO2 that is put into the atmosphere by natural causes. But we can be responsible for our actions and act to prevent humans from releasing it into the atmosphere. And that difference can reverse the effect of global warming.

Answer 3

Ha ha you sure stirred up the silly liberals didn't you. Look at the denials. Volcanoes erupt only good CO2, not the bad CO2 that they say causes global warming. This proves the whole global warming thing is a huge hoax.

Answer 4

That is true, but how many times do you see a volcano erupt? The anthropogenic release of CO2 will cause a synergistic reaction with natural CO2 that is released by volcanoes and only make things worse. This is why it is so devasting for humans to keep spewing out CO2. The fact that volcanoes are even considered in the Global Warming/CO2 discussion just shows how quick the human race is at developing justifications for their obvious destructive actions.

Answer 5

Get over yourself

That is interesting though...

Answer 6

Great point and look at the stupid answers you got. I love it. A star for you.

Answer 7

Not enough to affect the environment in any significant way.  CO2 is essential, it's not the enemy.

Answer 8

well you can't really do anything about natural gasses but you can do a lot on the other stuff that isn't natural.

Answer 9

Yes, this proves the entire global warming theory is nothing but a hoax by the hucksters like Al Gore and Bobby Kennedy who are making millions off the misguided musings of the gullible people.

Answer 10

You can't tax a volcano.
