Seeing as how Dems take so much stock in the UN.
United Nations Environment Programme
Sources of SO2

Natural sources of sulphur dioxide (SO2) include release from volcanoes, oceans, biological decay and forest fires. Actual amounts released from natural sources in the world are difficult to quantify; United Nations Environment Programme estimates a figure of between 80 million and 288 million tonnes of sulphur oxides per year. Sulphur dioxide emissions also result from combustion of fossil fuels due to varying amounts of sulphur being present in these fuels. World-wide emissions of SO2 are thought to be around 69 million tonnes per year (2000) and nitrogen oxides around 24 million tonnes per year (1990).


Even At the lowest amount of natural pollutants we still do not produce as much as the natural enviroment around us.

I am still trying to find the Article in the Journal of Science Stating that the Mount St. Helens Eruption Produced More Harmful Pollutants than We have put into the Enviroment since the Dawn of the industrial age!

Still Waiting on Yours!
