So, damn. I was hoping for a very cool report on how we would die instantly in a fiery explosion, but it’s just dumping more carbon into the atmosphere and slowly worsening climate change.
Volcanoes release less than 1% of the CO2 of anthropogenic emissions, according to USGS. But they also have a cooling effect by releasing sulfur particles that reflect sunlight. So yeah, volcanoes pretty much a wash, or at least de minimis compared to humans.

That’s unfortunate. Come on Giant Meteor. ☄️
I can hear climate change deniers already. “It’s not humans, it’s the volcanoes”
It is true that volcanoes have an effect. It’s just nothing compared to the scale humans are working at.
