At issue for the denialists, is fatalism. "There's nothing you can do; give up!". I would like to imagine that there might be something that one could do, to lessen bad effects.
A common claim made by anthropogenic global warming denialists is that volcanic CO2 emissions far exceed human-caused emissions. The data is now in that this is a spurious claim:
The bottom line? Annual anthropogenic CO2 emissions exceed annual volcanic CO2 by two orders of magnitude, and probably exceed the CO2 output of one or more super-eruptions.Super-eruptions are extremely rare, with recurrence intervals of 100,000–200,000 years; none have occurred historically, the most recent examples being Indonesia’s Toba volcano, which erupted 74,000 years ago, and the United States’ Yellowstone caldera, which erupted 2 million years ago.
