Real origins of climate change.

'Framed by a circle of clouds, this is a stunning illustration of Nature's powerful force. A plume of smoke, ash and steam soars five miles into the sky from an erupting volcano - and a very minor one. The extraordinary image was captured by the crew of the International Space Station 220 miles above a remote Russian island in the North Pacific.' I saw a well argued statistic several years ago which suggested that the pollution from all the vehicles in the world amounts to just 0.6% of all the rubbish spewed into the atmosphere.

[Some extremely dubious guesstimates, from some extremely dodgy sources, claim a full 30% which has the appearance of extreme exaggeration. It is my belief that these figures simply did not take into account the effect of volcanos as these are erratic by nature.]
Look at this picture and that lower claim seems considerably more believable!
