I don't know how many volcanoes it would take but the global total CO2 emissions of active volcanoes is about 1/150th of what humans are doing. see this site http://gristmill.grist.org/story/2006/12/17/223957/72

Further to my previous comment - there seems to have been some black propaganda put about that the output of volcanoes dwarfs what humans produce - and we are invited by this fact to imagine that nature's effects are much larger than humans and therefore all the talk of manmade global warming
