When volcanoes erupt, they attract more attention. However, new research guided by the University of Washington reveals that during their quiet phases, volcanoes leak a surprisingly large amount of their atmosphere- and climate-changing gases.

Greenhouse gas emissions from the two eruptions very small compared to CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning
