Global warming is a ploy concocted by the scientists of the world so they
can get dollars to help "save" us from the calamity.
Volcanoes do more to pump pollution into the atmosphere than the US has
ever
contributed, but no one gets upset because it's pretty safe bet that we
can't do anything about it. The temperature of the earth ebbs and flows,
as
do most things and the variance has only been by 1 freaking degree in the
past 100 years.

Your comment on the global warming ploy reminds me of the war
on drugs. That so called "war" sure pumps a lot of money towards
law enforcement.
Volcanoes contributes on average 10 million tons of CO2 gases into
the atmosphere per year. The U.S. contributes about 5.6 billion tons
and growing per year.
The haze effect of volcanic ash after major eruptions can cause
temporary cooling, but how much and how long is dependent upon
the amount of sulphur rich gases are involved in a particular eruption.
In any case, we don't get major volcanic eruptions every year and
not all the eruptions are sulphur rich.
The good news is they seem to help counter balance the warming effect,
which kept the average temperature increase during the 20th century
in the 1 "freaking" degree range you mentioned.
The bad news is that since 1995 the "freaking" 1 degree has doubled
to over 2 degrees.
