I can't find any actual data on CO2 released by Pinatubo. Only people arguing whether the "more than humanity" claim is true or false. But according to wikipedia it was 10 gigatons of magma, 20 megatons of SO2, and various metals in the hundreds of kilotons. So unless there was more CO2 than everything else combined, then it's probably pretty insignificant compared to 30 gigatons per year from humans.
Had trouble finding it, never saved it, any way long story short https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBb-ETuzbzw
You can see the largest CO2 emissions on the planet here:
Today the largest emissions are coming from the US Eastern seaboard - as high as 495 parts per million around New York city. Germany and China are not far behind at 460. Green industrial Germany is a major carbon emitter.
You can scan around the globe to see the other major emitters.
If you look at the numbers you can also see how all of the jungle/rainforest regions on the planet are eating that carbon. Carbon is food for plants.
CO2 makes up only .04% of Earth's atmospheric gas. That's not four percent, it's point zero four of one percent. 4 out of 1000.
What is the actual average global carbon right now? Perhaps a super computer might be able to accurately measure that. However, even if the combined total excess emissions on the planet managed to raise the average global carbon percentage from .04 of one percent to .05 of one percent, the world is not going to end because of it.

We need to get rid of volcanoes or maybe we could tax them.
