, despite a record number of volcanoes spewing forth more carbon into the atmosphere than all of mankind put together over 6,000 years.

More volcanoes recently but not a record by any measurement. The best proxy for volcanic activity is the stratospheric aerosol readings Check Fg 1 in this paper http://www.atmos-chem-phys.net/13/5205/2013/acp-13-5205-2013.pdf and the recent volcanic activity is still 10 times less than Pinatubo.

As for comparison, man's 30 Gt of CO2 is well above Pinatubo's 45 Mt. Generally the ratio of all man's CO2 per year to all volcanic per year is about 100 to 1.
