What about volcanoes?

I heard that Mt. St. Helens eruption in 1981 released more energy than hundreds of 20 megaton devices. 20 megatons is 1000 times greater than the device that devastated Hiroshima.

Biggest eruption in the last 1000 years was Tambora, 1815 at about 10^20 Joules. That's about 14 minutes of sunshine hitting the earth.

Volcanoes are innocent and therefore don’t count. Only evil capitalist operations and warmongering western countries do.
