One atom of Carbon there too. But you cannot breath a lot of it, and you won't smell it either...

No but carbon monoxide gives headaches. Carbon dioxide never has hurt me (except bleaching a little calcium from my bones when I drink soda pop).

Lots of other exhausts give you a heavy head.
Anyway, a volcanoe can go off 50 km away from me, and cover the area with black ash, I still can't even smell it, nor do you have a blurry sphere about it.

That makes sense since the gases would be light (hot) and unlikely to stay at ground level. Sulphur gas on the other hand kills nearly immediately. The huge amounts of carbon dioxide would be going up pretty quick before cooling and mixing in.

What I would like to see is gas stratification charts for standard atmospheric pressure of all the gases in our atmosphere.

EDIT: I meant (of course) the hot gas that kills so quickly like the Dukono eruption of 1922.

That kills by heat, - one nasty thing.
But a good concentration of some sulphuric gasses will actually kill you, and in the eruption of 1783, people and livestock alike would drop dead...in Britain!!!!
Look here:

Anyway, the main effect of those S gases are cooling. So much actually, that it has been calculated how much you need to counter overwarming of the globe (tsk tsk, doomsday folks), - it turned out to be doable.
Anyway, Volcanoes=not much effect on greenhouse gases for a very very long time:

I beg to differ.
Wiki also lists the sources, and the first source I quoted for the 1% was NOT Wiki.....

Angus is pointing out that weather and climate are two different things.  Maybe you might try opening a book, preferably prior to being a jerk.  ;)

I say forget all the politics Yay or Nay on the subject, I think it goes without saying, that its generaly still a good idea to try and work away from fossil fuels, in whatever ways possible. 

Emissions control is a good thing, though a pain in the butt admittedly, nobody likes smog clouds.  As far as climate change go's, at this point I agree there's little to nothing humanity can do to change the process's that are going on now.
