    I don’t think Valcanos are effected by climate change. They do release a fair amount of CO2 and can effect climate change, but I don’t think the other direction has any effect. Maybe fracking or something can cause it, but this kind of thing is expected to happen frequently in this area. It’s nothing to be concerned about.

      The CO2 isn’t the problem, it’s the sulfur gases. They basically do the opposite of CO2. When Krakatoa errupted, it lowered global temperatures by 0.5 C. It canceled summer and caused famines. When large volcanoes erupt they don’t cause a climate catastrophe, they ARE the climate.

      Anyway, here’s a neat video so you’re not just believing a stranger on the internet.

      Not sure but I think you mean affect instead of effect. But what’s funny is this is a rare instance where it works with either word.

        You know, I don’t know which I meant either. Usually there is a clear difference, but not here. Weird.
