      Volcanoes are a source of carbon dioxide, but other than that I’m afraid I don’t know that much about volcanoes! I expect that because volcanoes are very old and around for a very long time that 10-15 years wouldn’t be a long enough time period to see changes in volcanic activity.

      You need to find a volcanologist to ask!
