evidence: A post shared on Facebook claims a recent volcanic eruption at Mount Etna emitted 10,000 times more carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere than mankind has in its entire history on Earth. [...] The Facebook post makes the claim that a recent "burp" from the volcano emitted a huge amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. "But don’t worry a scam is in the works to tax you your minuscule footprint…." This claim is incorrect. While there are scholarly articles documenting carbon emissions from Mt. Etna’s recent eruptions, there are no articles making the specific claim offered in the Facebook post. Human activities emit approximately 60 times the amount of carbon dioxide that volcanoes do per year, according to Climate.gov.
