Volcanic eruptions are often discussed in relation to climate change because they release CO2 (and other gases) into our atmosphere. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens shot about 10 million tons of CO2 into the atmosphere in 9 hours. It currently takes humanity only 2.5 hours to put out the same amount.

Since the close of the long awaited Conference Of the Parties meeting in Glasgow, we’ve been hearing some pretty scathing reviews. But is that really fair? Yes, there were some outcomes that could have been better…but there were some great outcomes too. We’re going to give you a quick catch up on the best and worst.
