Volcanoes put out 1,000 times more CO2 than all of the autos in the world (excluding China, Russia and India). In deed, Mount Pinatubo pumped out more CO2 in its 1991 erruption than all of the man-made emmissions since the beginning of time. And there are volcanic erruptions occuring daily all over the world. That proof is graphiclly displayed in glacier ice core drillings that go back 300,000 years. The year after Pinatubo, the CO2 frozen in the ice spiked to astounding levels.
Did Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Truth” mention any of this? More importantly, did your daily LA Times, New York Times, SF Chronicle or Houston Chronicle report this?
This is a weekly report from Universal Weather, a Houston-based, high-tech air and weather service:
Etna, Italy has an ash cloud from 18,000 feet to the surface, moving toward the north at 25 knots. Ubinas, Peru has an ash cloud from 27,000 to 18,000 feet, moving toward the west at 15 knots. Tungurahua, Ecuador has an ash cloud from 20,000 to 16,000 feet, moving toward the southwest at 10 knots. Batu Tara, Lesser Sunda Island, Indonesia has an ash cloud from 5,000 feet to the surface, moving toward the northeast at 10 knots.
These are just the volacones that are in aviation traffic lanes. There are in fact 25 volcanoes errupting every week throughout the planet every week. This has been recorded since 1965.
Isn’t it time to call your local Democrat party politician and tell him/her that you are sick and tired of the propaganda and that you will never vote for the party of Big Brother/Big Sis government again?
And how about calling Nancy Pelosi’s office and ask her staff how much of a carbon footprint her jet plane flight to Syria was?

The U.S. Geological survey estimates that the CO2 emissions from the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo as 42 Mt (million tons). The total CO2 from all volcanic activity worldwide is about 130 Mt per year. Emissions from human activity from the U.S. alone are about 6 Gt (billion tons). Do the math.

Mick, you may want to look at figure 2 of this news article from the British Antarctic Survey. The rest is interesting too.
Fermi–I’ve visited and toured the famed Fermi Lab in Illinois serveral times. I suggest you buy The Skeptical Enivronmentalist by Bjoyrn Lomborg. Like Don Imus, your high priest of the new Green/Socialist polito-relgion, Al Gore has gone to far. His PowerPoint is full of lies, yet you don’t mention any of that, you are trying to argue with my stats point by point. Have you explained the Great Lakes yet?

YOU posted an article claiming that the Mt. Pinatubo explosion injected more CO2 into the atmosphere than all man-made emissions since the beginning of time.
I posted the truth, that the CO2 emissions from the U.S. alone, in one year, are 140 times greater than those from the Mt. Pinatubo explosion. Mike pointed you to a graph of CO2 concentration for the last several thousand years, which shows no visible spike at the time of Mt. Pinatubo, but does show the steady increase from human emissions.
And how do you respond? You flame Al Gore, and ask us to explain the Great Lakes.
Your “stats” are just plain wrong. Either admit your mistake and apologize for your sloppy research, or accept the fact that every reader will know you’re not the least bit interested in truth.

Hi tamino,
Nice to see you out and about again.
As to CO2 data, I would appreciate a link to a reliable source.

Thanks fermiparadox, for the info and the link.
An interesting sidebar: ironically, although massive eruptions like Pinatubo add small amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, their effect on plant respiration causes an increased uptake of CO2 by the biosphere — so massive eruptions tend to decrease the total atmospheric CO2 concentration. See Krakauer and Randerson 2003, Global Biogeochemical Cycles, vol. 17, pg. 1118, and Robock 2003, Volcanism and the Earth’s Atmosphere, Geophysical Monograph 139, American Geophysical Union, doi:10.1029/139GM01.

Don’t worry, I have plenty of sources for these statements. I wouldn’t have posted them, if I didn’t. The propaganda machine is very powerful. It’s an alliance of the major media, Democrat/Socialists, and academia.
One more point, volcanos are spewing CO2, carbon monixide, supher and heavy ash 15,000 feet into the upper atmosphere, where plants can’t absorb any of it.

“An Inconvenient Truth Or Convenient Fiction?”
Dr. Steven Hayward’s new documentary is out and the screenings are posted at PacificResearch.org.
This will shock you as to how much Al Gore lied in his Oscar-winning PowerPoint.

Is the mainstream media a PR organization for the Democrat party?
Look at this obit…
R.I.P. Arthur Schlesinger, Jr. 1917-2007.
New Deal historian and intellectual-in-residence at Camelot, Schlesinger stands not only a preeminent American scholar but as a lion of liberalism. Although the work of Alan Brinkley is more nuanced and less hagiographic, Schlesinger’s extensive writings on the Roosevelt administrations remain (with the work of Ellis Hawley and William Leuchtenberg) a foundation for New Deal historiography. To this day, along with his colleague and compadre John Kenneth Galbraith, Schlesinger is a passionate and articulate voice for Kennedyism and the Great Society agenda.

One little problem. Your co2 claims are false. Pinatubo put out about 41 million tons of co2. Worldwide energy related co2 this year will be over 6 BILLION tons.
No one, you or Al, can be credible while repeating false information.

dear mick, dear suffering world,
that is far to close to understand, you made a big mistake!
why can´t one see those effects in all co2 measurements, that has been taken for the last 100 years. If it´s that great, than it must has an effect in the atmosphere, but it didn´t has an impact as you can see from the constant up and down you can measure even at your home from winterseason to summerseason:), look at all measures scientists have conduct throughout the last decades, there´s as well no connection in the measures that are taken form the antarctica, where measurements can reveal the co2 situation for the last 1000000 years!, the same timeslope we are on earth!!, within it never went upon the level we have reached now!, at the same time all outbreaks of volcanoes went slightly down, of course there have ever been such outbreaks!, but never there has been plenty of us!
think about a second thing, who has the lobby, interested in the spreading of what is the content in the volcano article. most likely it´s not the lobby of all independent scientists, you know who it might be of!!!!!

Ask a geologist about the the evidence of oceans rising and falling.

Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, they’re the party hypocrisy. Where’s the press on Fienstein? As a member of the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, Sen. Dianne Feinstein voted for appropriations worth billions to her husband’s firms. Now she’s in charge of ethics. Wake up peopl. This is the party in charge. Vote!

I got this off the Green Peace website.
There is an important difference between the CO2 produced by nature and that emitted by human activities. While nature produces about 30 times more CO2 than human activity, the carbon emitted by nature is part of a finely balanced cycle.

I got this off the NASA website.
“rice paddies and livestock flatulence being the major sources of methane”
There is a great pie chart there.
Great stuff Jim. Amazing. Nature produces 30 times more CO2 than man.

Wow, out and out lies. Genius.

Kieran,
You seem to be very religious — the Global Warming/Greenatarians.
Merry Mercury Rising!
