Wow! Volcanic activity releases gases into the atmosphere? Who knew? How does this compare with Man’s release of greenhouse gases? Could the volcanoes contribute to Global Warming in any way?
Rhythmic Submarine Volcanos And El NinosThe real cause of El Ninos is still obscure. However, the recent discovery of over 1,000 previously unmapped submarine volcanos rising from the seafloor in the eastern Pacific may lead to El Nino's source. The synchronous eruption of, say, 100 of these volcanos might warm the ocean around Easter Island a tad -- just enough to warm the atmosphere above a bit -- resulting in a shift of the high pressure area.

Stupid question. Everyone knows that these eruptions are due to man made global warming. The models say so....
