"I'm saying that the primary forces are natural"

No doubt!

"and that human caused inputs are minimal and insignificant at best."

Depends on what you are looking at, I guess... A full scale nuclear exchange between all of the world's nuclear powers would probably have a fairly significant environmental impact.... Cutting down nearly all of the world's forests (& keeping them down) would also have clear impacts, I believe.

"How much CO2 is extracted from a single volcanic eruption compared to C02 from every car in the world?"

Orders of magnitude more... if it is a major eruption.

(Let's hope the world's biggest volcano --- Yellowstone --- never cuts loose while any of us are around!)
