So much for that (already long debunked) theory

A report on a new planetary carbon audit that came up with these key findings:

  • CO2 out-gassed to the atmosphere and oceans today from volcanoes and other magmatically active regions is estimated at 280 to 360 million tonnes (0.28 to 0.36 Gt) per year, including that released into the oceans from mid-ocean ridges
  • Humanity's annual carbon emissions through the burning of fossil fuels and forests, etc., are 40 to 100 times greater than all volcanic emissions

Been conducting a global carbon audit from your bedroom in your spare time, Graeme?
