Asshole statement three:

What's it like to talk to your sphincter on a daily basis?

shesh, That's some mighty fine dumbass you got there. Your bullshit political cartoon really doesn't display how absolutely inept you've let yourself become. So your homework is to tell the group where the closest active volcano is to your motherland. Just identify it. Don't need any yarns about how somebody climbed the damn thing and was saved by a Gaelic rollerskate. Just identify the closest volcano to your motherland.

For the rest of you this is an adult website where you may find some facts. Peruse this as it may become a point of contention due to your lack of understanding of what's underneath your feet. Admittedly I had to learn this back in the 80s but I've found this useful over the years especially with regard to oil futures.

Volcanic gases can be harmful to health, vegetation and infrastructure.

Magma contains dissolved gases, which provide the driving force that causes most volcanic eruptions. As magma rises towards the surface and pressure decreases, gases are released from the liquid portion of the magma (melt) and continue to travel upward and are eventually released into the atmosphere. Large eruptions can release enormous amounts of gas in a short time.

The 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo is thought to have injected more than 250 megatons of gas into the upper atmosphere on a single day. However, even if magma never reaches the surface, gases can often escape continuously into the atmosphere from the soil, volcanic vents, fumaroles, and hydrothermal systems.

Do the Earth's volcanoes emit more CO2 than human activities? No.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas and is the primary gas blamed for climate change. While sulfur dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has occasionally caused detectable global cooling of the lower atmosphere, the carbon dioxide released in contemporary volcanic eruptions has never caused detectable global warming of the atmosphere. In 2010, human activities were responsible for a projected 35 billion metric tons (gigatons) of CO2 emissions. All studies to date of global volcanic carbon dioxide emissions indicate that present-day subaerial and submarine volcanoes release less than a percent of the carbon dioxide released currently by human activities. While it has been proposed that intense volcanic release of carbon dioxide in the deep geologic past did cause global warming, and possibly some mass extinctions, this is a topic of scientific debate at present.
