The emission rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the less obvious—but nevertheless significant—measures of volcanic activity. Volcanic CO2 emissions are also important for understanding the preindustrial climate balance. To date, estimates of global volcanic CO2 emissions have been extrapolated primarily from measurements collected at a small number of active sources. Ice-covered volcanic centers are prevalent, but they are often difficult to access, and their vents are difficult to discern, so they are rarely included in these calculations.
High-precision airborne measurements, in combination with atmospheric modeling, suggest that the Katla subglacial caldera may be one of the planet’s biggest sources of volcanic carbon dioxide.
These findings suggest that subglacial volcanoes—the emissions of which have not been considered in much detail, historically—may be major emitters of carbon dioxide. Because of this, their contributions to the global volcanic CO2 budget may have been underestimated. Future work will determine whether Katla is representative of other ice-covered volcanoes.

We just need some really, really BIG CORKS..................
We need to BAN volcanoes!
Alexandria, put this in your Green plan!
Save us, Alexa!

Why do they hate plants? Plants need CO2 to breath!
The Left wants to kill all the plants!
The ‘Population Zero, Plant Zero’ consensus of scientists.
They don’t want to stop with just killing off plants.
One good eruption would make ALL of our efforts to reduce man-made CO2 meaningless.
Besides, CO2 is not a determining factor in temperature.
The Sun is.
Outlaw volcanoes.
The IMF should fine them eleventy quadrillion dollars of CO2 taxes I guess....
We better not let yellowstone blow or else we are gonna all be broke!
So those big Co2 extractors won’t do any good?
I thought that it has been determined that a serious lack of Taxes and scientific funding causes Gorebal Warning.
and still, CO2 in the atmosphere is under 0.04%- man’s CO2 is just 0.00136%
Neither of which if anywhere near enough CO2 to create a thick enough blanket to encompass the earth and trap heat and warm the globe- nowhere near enough- CO2 doesn’t cause climate change- climate change increases CO2- ice core samples prove this because only after 100’s of years of rising temperatures does CO2 begin to rise! CO2 therefore can’t possibly be causing climate change- Yet incredibly, ‘scientists’ with agendas have managed to convince the world that CO2 causes climate change- despite the FACTs stating just the opposite-
“Man-caused climate change’ is the biggest LIE- Biggest SCAM ever-
Maybe that’s why Iceland is so green.
DARN YOU! You stole my point!
Great minds think alike.
Remember the 2010 volcanic eruptions from Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland sent tons of plumes and ashes across Northern Atlantic into Europe causing air travel disruptions? Even President Bammy got delayed there in Europe.
Mother Nature— no one tops her as the #1 polluter.
AOC: Like, my Green New Deal will, like, totally provide for giant corks to plug all the volcanoes. Boom! End of volcanoes and all of their bad stuff. You’re welcome. I’m, like, totally the boss.
The Demonrats need to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the planet. JUMP!
