Finnster, on average Volcanoes emit 130 million tons of co2 yearly, much less than the 30 billion tons that is said humans emit yearly. But what discovery Chanel wont tell you is that volcanoes produce a cooling effect to the atmosphere. here are three examples:
*in 1991, when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted, spewing millions of tons of volcanic gasses into the atmosphere, which caused the world’s average temperatures to fall by about 3.8 degrees Fahrenheit that year.
*1883 eruption of Indonesia’a Krakatoa, produced a similar effect, cooling the globe by about 4.2 degrees and producing spectacular sunsets around the world, such as the one that it said to have inspired Norwegian artist Edvard Munch’s famous series of expressionist paintings titled “The Scream.”
*Mt. Tambora, in 1815. This explosion, thought to be four times larger than Krakatoa’s and the largest eruption in 10,000 years, resulted in snow and frost in New England and Europe in May, June, and July, causing widespread crop failures and famine. That year became known as “The Year Without a Summer.”
So with so much co2 about, why are we still getting hotter?......maybe, just maybe its because co2 is not the leading factor in global warming! according to the statistics I should be shoveling snow in july. look at the graph, temp follows sunspots way more than it does co2
