If man is blamed for global warming how comes one volacno ?

Question

can spew out in one hour as much toxins as the human race in 100 years ?

Answer 1

Its all a hoax

Answer 2

Sorry but this nonsense about volcanoes gets worse and worse. You need to get your info from reliable sources.

Look back at the questions and answers on here, there's a very clear pattern...

Volcanes contrinute as much as humans
Volcanoes contribute twice as much as humans
Volcanoes contribute ten times as much as humans
Volcanoes contribute a thousand times as much as humans
Volcanoes contribute a million times as much as humans

And now... volcanoes contribute a BILLION times as much as humans (365 days a year x 100 years x 24 hours x 1500 active terrestrial volcanoes = 1.3 billion). If underwater volcanoes are included then the total exceeds 10 billion.

Last year humans produced 40 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, if your statement is true then volcanoes produced 52 pentillion tons of toxins, the entire mass of the Earth is only 6 septillion tons.

Damn, at this rate we really do need to worry about global warming as the entire contents of the Earth are going to be spilled out and the surface of the planet will become a seething mass of magma and the temp will rise to 4000°C.

Answer 3

I'm with those who say put up or shut up.
You have made a rather bold statement and all the information I have access to says you are way off the track. Volcanoes do not produce more CO2 or anything else than human activity in the last 10 years never mind 100 years. A little bit of real research and a good grasp of basic arithmetic would go a long way.

Answer 4

it's so simple...

there are too many people and we are able to manipulate natural resources too easily.

The earth was in relative harmony...including volcanos before this became true.

Now...we are extracting millions of years of stored carbon in the form of coal and oil and spewing it into the atmosphere every day.

Nature is able to deal with massive volcanic eruptions because they don't happen all the time and aren't nearly as drastic as you described. Eventually, the effects dissipate.

The effects of man are continuous and growing. There are too many people on the earth and we manipulate every resource available to our advantage...including the atmosphere. We pollute rivers, lakes, oceans, and the air. The cumulative results of polluting the air are finally being realized.

I'm sorry to say that we can't just grow to a population of over 6 billion and continue to use the amount of resources that we are using.

Ultimately, our effects on the environment are the limiting factor in human overpopulation. If it wasn't such a pain...we would keep overpopulating the planet even more...simple laws of nature.

Answer 5

the blaming of humans for anything and the results of volcanic activity are completely unrelated - so there is no "how comes" to answer.

Anthropoenic (caused by man) climate change is happening http://www.ipcc.ch.
It is not a question of blame.
nor vulcanology

Answer 6

I guess that means you believe its ok for man to have a global nuclear war because it would be no worse that a large comet striking us. Just think of all the things that we could do to earth that are no worse than natural events.

Answer 7

true .... just think what is happening in world is a natural cycle ...when I was a kid couldn't breath because of the soot in the air and its much cleaner now so many air restrictions I'm doing my bit trying to protect mother earth have no control in other countries who don't care ...don't say their 3rd world countries everyone know now no excuses ........global warming is a global issue so all countries no excuses we know you know ...if its not our fault so be it were blameless still to be proven

Answer 8

oh really?

Which toxin?

it isn't SOx, H2S,HCl, or NOx

and we all know it isn't CO2, which volcanoes produce in much smaller quantities than man.

I think the real answer to this question is that your making up BS.

Answer 9

for 40 years, the experts have not had ONE prediction come true!

NOT ONE!

famine
mass death
shifting of food production regions
climate change
overpopulation
global cooling
mass starvation
massive glaciers
uninhabitable places on earth
running out of fossil fuel

all this was supposed to happen by the year 2000, and if man didn't stop using fossil fuels.

now these SAME "experts" want us to "believe" global warming because it's "real"?

Answer 10

You need to provide a source for that kind of statement, there are no scientists that I know of, skeptic or not, that would agree with the statement you just made.

Answer 11

SEE my friend if we blamed the human is more likely to get a solution than blam the nature...
Nature can't respond!!!
