They said that Mt Pinatubo in the Philippines spewed more green house gases than the whole Industrial Revolution so who is lying?

These guys making such assertions never show their calculations.

From looking at the records, it seems that man’s contribution to the climate has prevented an ice age.
Naturally, some sort of limit will be impressed on our population eventually. I suspect that there is going to be a very bad world wide famine soon — it won’t be massively deadly in the developed world, but China, Africa, and India will be decimated. It may be enough here to wipe the Constitution away though.

And regardless, it means absolutely nothing. The Earth's climate is 100 percent natural 100 percent of the time. Thanks NormsRevenge.

Makes sense, there are a lot more humans than there are volcanoes.

The USGS analysts do not include MID OCEAN RIDGES or RIFTS in their computations considering them to be imponderable. So they are ignoring 70% of Earth's surface?

Light-duty vehicles (mainly cars and pickup trucks): 3.0 gigatons per year And I read that the CO2 released by coal seam fires in China are greater than that.

Cement production: 1.4 gigatons per yearI stopped reading here. The production of cement releases CO2 into the air, as limestone is calcined to produce calcium oxide. However, once the cement is made into concrete, it absorbs The same amount of CO2 as was release in its production. The net effect on the atmosphere is exactly zero. Granted, it may take months or even a few years for the absorption process to complete, but that doesn't alter the fact that the net CO2 addition to the atmosphere is zero.

Just plain nonsense. Even on a geologic timescale it's simply ridiculous to compare human activity with that one plume shooting into the stratosphere in Chile, earlier this month.
And carbon dioxide it a trace gas these days and has been throughout the Holocene. All the sewers of all the cities on Earth, and all the hog farms in Iowa and North Carolina, put together can't compete with one volcano's blast of sulfur dioxide.
None of them can compare with the allegorical B.S. in this one ruinous article.
Which story will be parroted by your local newscast tonight. This one or the latest studies showing the solar cycles and the interplanetary magnetic field have apparently begun showing a weakening magnitude pattern, perhaps preceding a new Maunder Minimum and Little Ice Age?
