On average, human activities put out in just three to five days the equivalent amount of carbon dioxide that volcanoes produce globally each year, according to Terrance Gerlach of the US Geological Survey (USGS). Gerlach used the figure of about one-quarter of a billion metric tons of volcanic carbon dioxide per year to make his comparisons.
