Which produces more CO2? Volcanoes or human activity?

Question

HUMAN ACTIVITY PRODUCES OVER 150 TIMES MORE CO2 THEN ALL VOLCANIC ACTIVITY COMBINED.

Got that arwen??

"A volcano gives off more co2 in a year then every factory on earth combined. "
- arwen = CON

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) [ ( Marland, et al., 1998) - The reference gives the amount of released carbon (C), rather than CO2.]. 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)!

Answer 1

It does not matter, CO2 is NOT causing global warming. If you do believe, you should hold your breath five minutes every hour.

Answer 2

5quid - the shown fact which you have executed a sprint diagnosis into Mt Pinatubo's eruption makes it each and every of the extra spectacular which you may misrepresent it so badly. The drop in temperature as a results of Mt Pinatubo's eruption grew to become into on no account on the topic count of CO2 output. Billions of a great number of ash have been blown into the stratosphere. those produce a cloud like barrier for the sunlight best to a brief cooling. Your argument on no account variations any arguments concerning greenhouse gasses and international warming.

Answer 3

yea the old Gerlach study thats been repeated ad nauseam. Btw more recent study of that same data set shows that they were so far off on their 'scientific' data that they should be embarrassed. more recent numbers shows more like a 85-90:1 ratio.

Add to that the IPCC saying a that the sea level was goin to rise 34 inches due to ice sheet melting then reexamination of same info because of criticism this year admitted well ok maybe its off and now we believe about 17 inches.

How are these scientific experts you keep brining up off on their data by this drastic of a degree, but according to you shouldnt have any scrutiny by people because they are experts in the field... yadah yadah keep talking man. give me more opportunities to show foolishness.

Answer 4

Now how about comparing the ratio of CO2 to other green house gases in the atmosphere.

Answer 5

Travolta didn't you know that it is a violation of the terms of service to have more than one account and to answer your own questions? I won't report you or email Yahoo that you have committed an offense that they delete accounts for but someone else might.

Answer 6

Well based on that, all those people who feel that human CO2 is causing global warming should stop breathing.
Save your planet!

Answer 7

You failed biology, right?
"The Great Global Warming Swindle" on google.
The most co2 being given off right now is your apparent stupidity and your incessant liberal preachings. Go kiss al Gore's ***, you anti-american flag burning commie.
With the exception of the blond ditze on the bottom, it looks like i've won this argument. I don't like to gloat, but you deserved it.
I don't lie. I just give off rationality.

Answer 8

But . . . don't the trees need CO2 to live? Do you hate trees?

Answer 9

you answered your own question good job
