I tried to debate in another thread the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted by volcanos. I have heard the arguement in many places that volcanos emits anywhere from as much to 500,000 times as much greenhouse gases as humans per year.
Does anyone know anywhere to get good data on this? I read a news article that Mount Saint Helens when it was in full eruption mode was emitting a bit less then the state of Washington per day. If that big plume was only as much greenhouse gas emissions as Washington state then I can't see the total emissions from total world volcano emissions being even close to human levels.
I'm doing a bit research on the topic but would appreciate any help.
