While volcanic activities is one of the basic causes of extreme warming on global scale resulting from release of high volume of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, but the contribution to extreme warming by human and their actions is many folds.
Volcanic eruptions on this earth generate about 110 million bags of carbon dioxide each year, while creature actions add 10,000 times to that amount. Extra substantive climatic consequence from volcanoes is caused by the production of atmospheric smog. The huge explosion columns during significant volcanic eruption insert dust particles and sulfur-rich gases into the troposphere and stratosphere.
The smoke can surround the globe in weeks of the volcanic motion. The minute dust particles reduce the quantity of sunshine entering the shell of the earth and decrease regular worldwide temperatures (Scientific American report Oct, 5 2005).
Hmmmm, any idea what this recent volcanic eruption in Iceland might have caused in terms of global warming?
