"More green house gases have been released in the last 100 years by volcanic activity than man has since his beginning till now."
That's obviously bush-it. The handful of active volcanoes around the world couldn't possibly produce more than 6+ Billion humans.
Besides, it's irrelevant. Global warming is about tipping the balance. Even if we added nothing to greenhouse gases, we've still removed almost 50% of the machinery (forests) that used to convert those gases. Volcanoes aren't producing 50% less now are they? Where does it go?
If anyone cares about real science, this British Geological Survey report "Volcanic Contributions to the Global Carbon Cycle" took about 30 seconds to find on Google. One of the findings is that we produce on order of 100 times MORE gases than all volcanic and non-volcanic emissions: http://www.bgs.ac.uk/programmes/landres/segs/downloads/VolcanicContributions.pdf
