Isn’t “Chili Volcano” an oxymoron? LOL!

so how much effect does this have on global warming? I hear it put out a lot of CO2. In fact, it would only take 17.43 of these eruptions to equal Al Gore's monthly carbon footprint.

“While there are not that many molecules of any one given element packed in any one place”
That is not necessarily true.
I would like to compliment you for explaining the vulcanic nature of the Earth in laymen’s terms.
Good communication is having everyone getting a ‘picture’ in their head.
Great communication is having everyone getting the same ‘picture’.
You did great!

“Current theory is that we were reduced to a few 10s of thousands, causing an evolutionary bottleneck.”
You would think that an evolutionary bottleneck might be a good thing.
Wonder what it would have been like without it?

Actually, an additional factor in the heat balance of the earth is the production of heat by nuclear forces in the earth’s interior. The heat loss was a big unsolved question to scientists and mathematicians until nuclear energy was discovered.
Barringer Crater in Arizona was 50,000 years ago. Anyone have information on effects from that? Toba caused a bottleneck in population that I read was as few as 5 to 10,000 humans.
Llaima is one of Chile’s two most active volcanos (the other is Villarrica). It had at least 32 VEI 3 eruptions in the 20th Century, the last in 1988. It had a VEI 4 in 1640 (VEI=Volcanic Explosivity Index). [Source- “Encyclopedia of Volcanoes”, Sigurdsson, 2000]
