Original Note:
Volcanic eruptions do emit CO2, but they emit much less than humans. Meat production alone emits CO2 at a rate 15 times higher than all the world's volcanoes combined. In total, human activity emits a Mount St. Helens-sized eruption of CO2 every 2.5 hours. https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/42/what-do-volcanoes-have-to-do-with-climate-change/ https://www.usgs.gov/programs/VHP/volcanoes-can-affect-climate https://www.science.org/content/article/scienceshot-volcano-co2-emissions-no-match-human-activity https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-do-volcanoes-affect-w/ https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-volcanoes-co2/fact-check-volcanoes-do-not-produce-more-co2-emissions-than-human-activity-idUSL1N2XV1HA https://www.aap.com.au/factcheck/no-carbon-contest-between-emissions-heavy-humans-and-volcanoes/ https://factcheck.afp.com/no-volcanoes-do-not-emit-more-carbon-dioxide-human-activity https://interactive.carbonbrief.org/what-is-the-climate-impact-of-eating-meat-and-dairy/
