Volcanoes are most likely cause of Global warming

category international | environment | opinion/analysis author Thursday July 29, 2004 13:38author by righteous pragmatist Report this post to the editors

Human activity just doesn't measure up.

Environmentalist claim that the increase in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the earth's atmosphere are the result of human activity.

Yet this ignores the FACT that a single volcanic eruption produces more of these gases than the entire wood, coal and oil burned by human in all of human history.

Just remember that explosion of Mount Saint Helen in the early nineteen eighties?
The entire mountain top blew off and vast quantities of dust were blown into the upper atmosphere.
How much gas from the centre of the earth was released? How much BURNING actually occured when that catastrophy occured?
There have been dozens of eruptions world wide since then and some active volcanoes release gas of vast proportions annually.

Compared to how much emissions humans create with the internal combustion engine we don't even make a difference to the environment.

That's not to say we shouldn't conserve our oil reserves by being more efficient in the design of our engines and our dependency on it as fuel - its is gradually running out.

BUT to make the claim that human activity is seriouslt altering the atmosphere while IGNORING a colossal source of these gases - volcanic activity - is absurd in the extreme.
