CLIMATE ACTION IN ALASKA

Volcanoes emit more carbon dioxide than humans do?

According to the USGS, "All studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions indicate that present-day subaerial and submarine volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released currently by human activities."  (Emphasis in original)


Further, volcanic activity is not significantly changed over the past 500 years, and volcanoes cool the earth slightly.
