Climatologist Dr. Roger Pielke Sr. dismissed claims by scientists and several studies claiming that volcanic eruptions will increase due to “climate change.”
“I keep thinking I have seen everything that is claimed that adding CO2 to the atmosphere can do. Nope,” Pielke wrote on January 16, 2020, while referring to an NPR story with the headline: “Climate Change Likely To Increase Volcanic Eruptions, Scientists Say.”
Pielke Sr. added: “Still wondering when rationale discussion on the climate issue will return…”

Which is it? Volcanoes cause global warming or cause global cooling?

European Science Foundation scientists: Volcanoes ‘pose more threat to Earth & survival of humans than asteroids, earthquakes, nuclear war & global warming.’ – ‘Experts at the European Science Foundation said volcanoes – especially super-volcanoes like the one at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, which has a caldera measuring 34 by 45 miles (55 by 72 km) – pose more threat to Earth and the survival of humans than asteroids, earthquakes, nuclear war and global warming.’
Study Excerpt: “Ilyinskaya et al. recorded the first atmospheric gas emission rate measurements from Katla, one of Iceland’s largest active volcanoes. This massive ice-covered caldera, which last erupted a century ago, was previously assumed to be a relatively minor emitter of CO2, but the new results suggest otherwise…The results indicate that Katla emits 12–24 kilotons of CO2 per day, which is more than double previous estimates of the emission rate of CO2 from all volcanic and geothermal sources in Iceland combined (2.7–5.8 kilotons per day)”
“These findings suggest that subglacial volcanoes—the emissions of which have not been considered in much detail, historically—may be major emitters of carbon dioxide. Because of this, their contributions to the global volcanic CO2 budget may have been underestimated.”
