Humans are "dangerous" to the environment. Have humans had an impact on the environment? Absolutely. Have we had anywhere near the type of impact a single volcanic event creates on the environment? Not even close. Keep in mind that these along with several other natural occurring events happen frequently. There is nothing we can do to kill this planet. She will be around long after we are gone. Should we worry about "Securing a better tomorrow" - sure. However, in the long run, we will change our ways as a species and work towards influencing the environment, but the Earth will do as it wants - as will the Sun. We are helplessly at the mercy of forces far beyond our control, and anyone who thinks differently needs to get their brain checked. In my opinion of course.

You have you numbers wrong..we have raised CO levels to all time highs. We have unbalanced a finely balaned system.

"Have we had anywhere near the type of impact a single volcanic event creates on the environment? Not even close." This sentence is untrue.

Which produces more CO2, volcanic or human activity?

PO1 (Join to see) interesting article. This is news to me. I will have to go back and find my source that showed differently. However, 200M tonnes vs. 28.6B tonnes does seem like a substantial difference. Of course, this is comparing volcanoes on any given day and not massive eruptions like Mt. St. Helens etc. Though, I'd assume were these numbers correct, even a massive eruption wouldn't compare to that type of output when looked at annually. More research is needed on my end. Thank you!
