I'm no expert, but I'm betting that little volcanic belch just spewed more crap into the air than all the evil SUV's ever made.

A lot more ash than a dirty diesel, but volcanoes don't emit much CO2. Most of the "gaseous" emissions from volcanoes are water vapor, followed by sulfur dioxide.

If I remember by college chemistry correctly, sulfur dioxide aint all that healthy, greenhouse gas or not.
