"On average" volcanoes world wide release about 200 million tons of CO2 
per year.
Back in 2003 the CO2 from fossil fuel emissions was figured at 26.8 
Billion tons.

Typically even a "big blow" releases so much Sulfur Dioxide (an aerosol) 
which is a cooling agent the net effect is a cooling from the larger 
eruptions. Pinatubo created a notable, but brief cooling. Krakatoa 
created a cooling that lasted about 2 years.

Gore's a hypocrite who talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk. He's 
the do as I say, not do as I do.

Things don't happen that fast...normally.  Of more concern is the South 
Atlantic anomaly of which we can do absolutely nothing.
