Human Activities Vs Vocano

Some people argue that what's the point in spending so much money on climate control when all the volcanic ashes spurted out by the volcanoes every year will emit enough carbon dioxide to cancel the effect of whatever I do.


Here are some facts:


Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year. Large, violent eruptions may match the rate of human emissions for the few hours that they last, but they are too rare and fleeting to rival humanity’s annual emissions. In fact, several individual U.S. states emit more carbon dioxide in a year than all the volcanoes on the planet combined do.
