Global Warming and Volcanoes



I believe I read this correctly. I was scanning through the book Snowball Earth and found a statement that human's contributions to global warming is far less than volcanoes. The very same day I was talking to a friend about something related to geology or earth resources when he mentioned that volcanoes produce way more pollutants than humans. Perhaps he was just uttering a fact that he had heard, or maybe he was trying to say something about GW. I don't know. I'm no earth scientist, but did later read that humans are fully responsible for 1/2 of the contaminants that cause GW. Maybe the debris volcanoes spew settles quickly into the oceans or contains less of the GW contaminants? Anyway, is there a source that will straighten me out on this.?
