Dar she blows!!

Gretta better jump in her sailboat and sail immediately to Hawaii. Mauna Loa has been ignoring her demands and is ready to blow 100's of thousands of tons of green house gases into Gretta's world. Shame on Mauna Loa........How dare it??

Yep....its emissions probably negated all the green efforts of the last 5 years..Oh well..... win some, lose some, Greta!

Don't worry, biden is going to have it converted to electric soon, so it won't harm the environment.

When erupting they are saying it produces 15k ton per day

"The global estimates fell within a range of about 0.3 ± 0.15 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, implying that human carbon dioxide emissions were more than 90 times greater than global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions."

On April 30, 2015, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the American Chemical Society will commemorate Earth's pre-eminent modern atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) record started at the Mauna Loa Observatory, a NOAA atmospheric research facility located at 3,350 m...

Which emits more carbon dioxide: volcanoes or human activities?

Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year.

So, Mother Nature is Earth's greatest polluter and contributor of greenhouse gases?

Cue Alannis Morissette's "Ironic".

"Once established, the record showed convincingly that CO2 buildup was indeed taking place. In fact, the technique worked so well that during summer months it easily detected the seasonal uptake of CO2 by increased vegetation."

They keep forgetting to add in, that mother nature has a way of balancing out CO2. The more CO2 in the air, the more vegetation grows....which absorbs more CO2...Amazing.....
