It is unacceptable all the CO2 and SO2 emitted by the Ruang volcano in Indonesia, a tax on volcanoes should be introduced. All the studies on co2 increase are paid for by government sources so I don't believe any of them. They are sure that human activity has little impact on the increase in co2 levels and that most of the co2 comes from volcanoes and the weathering of rocks which are a major source of co2. Also historically the increase in co2 has been accompanied by increased volcanic activity and in some cases a single eruption of a volcano in just hours has already emitted more co2 than all the human activity of a year. So that's why I think volcanoes should be taxed.

"When Hunga Tongaโ€“Hunga Haโ€˜apai (HTHH) erupted in January 2022, it shot the standard volcanic cocktail of ash, gas, and pulverized rock into the sky. But the eruption included one extra ingredient thatโ€™s now causing climate concerns: a significant splash of ocean water. The underwater caldera shot 146 metric megatons of water into the stratosphere like a geyser, potentially contributing to atmospheric warming over the next 5 years, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change." send the authorities a letter......we demand the volcano is penalised.
We agree. Americans living there should pay us their fair share of the volcano carbon tax.
๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘†๐Ÿ‘† Volcanoes need to pay their fair share
This one is not spitting gold like that one in Antarctica? We need some monetary law for volcanos

Those volcanoes better start looking for 2nd and 3rd jobs to pay for all those taxes

...put them in jail. All of them, also the quiet one's, because you never know ๐Ÿ˜‚
You guys are looking at this all wrong. Volcanoes care, volcanoes share, they just need a hug and someone to micromanage them. In accordance with ancient Incan tradition, we need to choose Volcano Speakers to go in and make the Goddess proud. Authenticity. Spiritual. No need to work. I will nominate one very annoying and terrifyingly spoilt blue-haired teen i know slightly. We are going to need a lot of Volcano Speakers, who will you nominate?
Dammit! I was all, sitting here, eatin' my bugs n shit, in the dark, cold as hell doing my best to save mother gaia and then she fucks my plans up, does a full-on mothafuckin' hari-kari on her ass. Dumbass Earth, if you weren't so retarded, you wouldn't need us genius humans to save you. I'm done, up to this point, I haven't farted in like 5 years. I'm over it, I'm letting all the methane out.

Weathering of rocks takes CO2 from the atmosphere: CO2 (atmosphere) + H2O + CaSiO3 (rock material) -> Ca2+ + 2HCO3- + SiO2. So if very high amounts of CO2 come into the atmosphere, increased weathering of rocks will lower the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, making it a negativr feedback loop .
