When Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it threw more CO2 into the atmosphere than all of mankind in history. The global temperature DROPPED by 0.5 C for a bout 1 year.

Liberals who actually believe this tripe believe they are powerful enough to change the earth’s climate.

Not just wrong, 5 orders of magnitude wrong . Volcanoes release more than 130 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. Pinatubo released about 42Mt: http://pubs.usgs.gov/pinatubo/gerlach/ Worldwide manmade CO2 emissions were 31.2 Gt in 2010 http://www.eia.gov/forecasts/ieo/emissions.cfm Cumulative emissions are well over 1,000 Gt.

Mt Pinatubo also threw a helluva lot of ash into the air, which was the main culprit in cooling the atmosphere.

Co2, as a trace gas in the atmosphere, isn't the main player in warming this planet.
