I am quite skeptical of an article that may have "conveniently" left out the comparison of the other emmissions. Federal agencies like that and the one I work for are very good at doing that. I agree that "our" activities have some impact on our environment like global warming, but not to the degree being espoused by the left but more than what the far right espouses.

>Comparison of CO2 emissions from volcanoes vs. human activities.

>Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1999, 1992). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts. Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 22 billion tonnes per year (24 billion tons). Human activities release more than 150 times the amount of CO2 emitted by volcanoes--the equivalent of nearly 17,000 additional volcanoes like Kilauea (Kilauea emits about 13.2 million tonnes/year)!
