I wonder if after a bit too much vodka, they dropped their "methane sensor" down the head and not down the hatch. XD For months they thought it was trailing the ship, when actually it was sitting in their waste tank.
We don't need anymore global warming rubbish.
Comparison of CO2 emissions from volcanoes vs. human activities.
Scientists have calculated that volcanoes emit between about 130-230 million tonnes (145-255 million tons) of CO2 into the atmosphere every year (Gerlach, 1991). This estimate includes both subaerial and submarine volcanoes, about in equal amounts.
Emissions of CO2 by human activities, including fossil fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring, amount to about 27 billion tonnes per year (30 billion tons)
