Fact, the typical volcanic eruption puts more so called pollutants in the air than humans can manage in year.

I am all for clean air and clean water as we all should be. And certainly be a good steward of our environment in general. But to imply that humans can have any effect on global climate change is the height of hubris. The true "science deniers" are those who insist "it's all our fault"and"we're all gonna die". They cannot answer 2 simple questions, 1. Tell me what caused the Ice Age, and 2. Explain how all the ice melted when there were only a few million humans on the planet and no industrial revolution? Many reputable climatologists believe we are still coming out of the last Ice Age, and keep in mind that before the last Ice Age, Alaska was a temperate climate akin to the Midwest.

Well stated.
