Volcanic eruption

Thousands of people were evacuated after a long-dormant volcano erupted late Tuesday and again early Wednesday, provoking avalanches and floods that swept away houses and bridges.

The Nevado del Huila volcano's eruptions were its first on record since Colombia was colonized by the Spanish 500 years ago.

There was no mention of how many millions of tons of greenhouse gases were released in the eruption.

Maybe the Goracle thinks that global warming CAUSED the eruption?

I once heard a geologist say that he thought volcanic eruptions were the primary cause of global warming.

What causes volcanic eruptions?
