Here is another story about a huge volcano in Peru that has been spewing out green house gases as well as other gases for months now. This on the same day that Reuters reports about ice melt in Canada. No mention is made in either article about the impact of Volcanoes or the fact that the gases they emit are the same ones being blamed for causing global warming when they are man made, nor is the total volume of the gases and how they contrast with man made output.

Apr. 19 - Officials urge a small farming town in southern Peru to evacuate after a volcano sent smoke and ash 800 meters into the air.
The volcano, in the Moquegua region 900 kilometres south of Lima, has been belching for much of the month.
It has sent ash and sulfur as far away as the town of Ubinas, home to 3,500 people, eight kilometres away.
Small tremors have also been felt in nearby towns.
Officials urged residents in the farming community of Querapi to evacuate, but residents were reluctant to leave.
