Vulkane stoßen mehr CO2 aus als Menschen.

Publisher’s rating: Die Behauptung, Vulkane würden um ein Vielfaches mehr CO2 ausstoßen als die Menschheit, ist falsch. Vulkane emittieren pro Jahr nur etwa ein Hundertstel des Kohlendioxids, das Menschen verursachen. Mehrere Forschungsinstitute haben die falsche Behauptung bereits widerlegt und bezeichnen den Anteil des vulkanischen CO2-Ausstoßes gegenüber dem menschengemachten als unbedeutend.
