One volcanic eruption releases more greenhouse gasses and ozone depleting chemicals that all of human history.

Sorry, that's wrong.

Gases: Man versus the Volcanoes

Volcanoes are NOT a significant source of greenhouse gases; as for ozone-depleting chemicals, very little ozone-reactive chemical species released by volcanoes reach the stratosphere.

"Volcanoes are NOT a significant source of greenhouse gases; as for ozone-depleting chemicals, very little ozone-reactive chemical species released by volcanoes reach the stratosphere."

I must not be reading the table right. I see the text, but don't understand the numbers.

Besides, I thought CO2 was the most damaging chemical to our precious ozone layer. Now show me the table that measures human contribution of CO2 Vs. pig farts. :o)

Thats a pretty slim article, and then they pick a very slow erupting volcano, Kilauea, for a direct comparrison. Why not Mt. St. Helens 1980 eruption, the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, or other Plinian class and above eruptions?
