Original Note:

Global CO2 emissions for all land and submarine volcanoes in total are just a few percent of the man-made CO2 production (0.13 gigaton to 0.44 gigaton per year versus 36.3 gigatons (billion tonnes) per year). https://www.reuters.com/article/fact-check/volcanoes-do-not-produce-more-co2-emissions-than-human-activity-idUSL1N2XV1HA/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2022/06/21/fact-check-humans-produce-more-co-2-than-volcanoes-including-mt-etna/7586918001/ https://www.thecanadianpressnews.ca/fact_checking/emissions-from-mount-etna-eruption-dwarfed-by-human-caused-carbon-dioxide/article_a9a0ea96-6706-5f93-9923-03d1a488a115.html
