Quote by Jim Gibbons
One volcano in Hawaii, one volcano in Indonesia, produces enough gases in the atmosphere, which include those natural elements that are in the Earth's crust, that, uh, kind of make all the, you know, the science that we have about what we produce, moot.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the immense impact that volcanic eruptions can have on the Earth's atmosphere. It highlights how just a single volcano in Hawaii or Indonesia can release a significant amount of gases, including elements commonly found in the Earth's crust. The quote suggests that these volcanic emissions can overshadow the impact of human activities and render the scientific understanding of our own contributions to atmospheric changes somewhat inconsequential.
