Take our 7.5GT of carbon out of the yearly budget, and the volcanic 0.15 GT (although I just saw a paper claiming 0.06GT) is in balance with the rest of the carbon cycle.

Almost everybody knows that. Except the grads of Denile's one and only Farouk U.

Most of us also know about the global dimming behind volcanos. Most of us. Like Hanson, who was able to predict Pinatubo's effects within 0.09 degrees.

Print this out and go spend the night in a Holiday Inn. You'll figure it out.

if the earth was that perfectly balanced then one volcano eruption would have killed us long ago.

Once again, just plain old ignorance. Hansen's 1988 did an excellent job on the volcano. They damp out pretty quick, just a few years.
