Ok here should be a relatively simple question to estimate mankinds
impact on global warming.

Assuming that a volcano and the human race release similar proportions
of "global warming gases"  How many people over time does it take to
release the same amount of "global warming gas" as an active volcano
over a similar period of time?

We should maybe try to use current scienific estimates of both values.
