NASA disagrees:
"Overall, volcanoes release less than 2 percent of the equivalent amount of CO2 released by human activities. Quite small. However, about once every 20 years there is a volcanic eruption (e.g., Mount Pinatubo, El Chichon) that throws out a tremendous amount of particles and other gases. These will effectively shield us enough from the sun to lead to a period of global cooling. The particles and gases typically dissipate after about 2 years, but the effect is nearly global."

It doesn't bother me that a discussion was started about climate change, I didn't start it, many have posted several statements as "facts". I have simply challenged those statements of fact in a polite way and I guess we'll see if I get banned for posting non-camaro6 consensus links to NASA and NOAA. I would think that most people would not be so offended by such informational posts as to report these posts. If you are offended by NASA and NOAA, just ignore their science, perhaps some of you can join their scientific endeavors and discover data that supports that humans, by way of CO2 emmissions, are NOT causing global warming and climate change. I sure would feel a lot better about the future of the Earth is such data existed.
