Volcanic greenhouse gas emissions are as nothing compared to what we crank out. And maybe you should look up "the year without a summer".
So on the one hand you say volcanoes are nothing compared to the green house gas emissions human can crank out, but then you reference a volcano that altered the planet's climate.
Clearly volcanoes do have a more significant impact then humans, because a volcano eruption can overwhelm the planet's ability to absorb.
Around 40% of the worlds population lives within 50 miles of the coastline, a large part of them right at sea level. Just think of the impact to a wealthy country like the US with all the major cites right near sea level, Washington DC, Baltimore, NY, Boston, better start adding to that disaster relief fund now.
Imagine the impact to the poorer countries, what is their solution?
Sea levels have been slowly rising at a steady pace for centuries, but what the scammers will do is use a year where a high discharges of ice from Greenland's glaciers occurred, and extrapolate that same rate of melt for every year thereafter. They will turn the data into charts, graphs and make wild predictions. Basically using actual data and turning it into propaganda.
Let the free market decide if they want to attempt a stop rising sea levels or not. I can guarantee that an ice age would have far more catastrophic effects to the economy than a warmer earth. A warmer earth means a longer growing season, doesn't sound like something you want to stop unless you live near sea level.
I don't want the "market" dictating human existance. To hell with the market.

Yes there are fluctuations in both directions but on average sea levels are rising.
When I'm around people like you I always lie to them that I believe in man-made global warming so they never question my intelligence. Hopefully this strategy will save me from being sent to a reeducation camp in the future.
As I stated "US republicans are the only people on this entire planet, that are stupid enough to (not) believe in man made global warming." And all you republicans need to be sent to a reeducation camp (today.)

I was wondering how exactly a free market would address global warming, do we rely on their reaction to the current trends on their own? Do we trust that oil companies will develop a conscience in advance for the good o mankind, because I haven't seen that take place yet.
I always think of things like tobacco, the Pinto Automobile, asbestos, agent orange, DDT when it comes to the free market taking it's course. All good that ends well I guess in the eyes of some.
The same people who said that smoking was harmless are the same ones denying AGW... In the 1990s, the Heartland Institute worked with the tobacco company Philip Morris to question serious cancer risks to secondhand smoke, and to lobby against government public-health reforms. More recently, the Institute has focused on questioning the science of human-caused climate change, and was described by the New York Times as "the primary American organization pushing climate change skepticism.

Getting desperate if you feel the need to make the smoking analogy.
The AGW movement is more akin to primitive man burning witches at the stake, or carving the human hearts out of sacrificial victims to make amends to the gods over a drought or a bad harvest.
