Hum, inquiring minds connect ocean warming and volcanoes.

It has been long known but it's hard to scam volcanoes.

One big volcanic eruption can fuck up the world for decades.

Yet somehow driving an internal combustion car will kill all the polar bears and make sea levels rise 100 feet.

While in Costa Rica back in 97 I spoke with a Volcanologist from Norway who told me that the world's largest concentration of sub marine volcanos was in the region of Cocos Island (about 200miles off shore from the Nicoya Peninsula but none were active, she also told me that there were almost 4,000 active sub marine volcanos world wide with about 3,000 (known) emitting seismic rumblings but no activity.

Why no mention of whether these actively growing land masses in the sea contribute to rising sea levels?

CO2 is released from volcanoes as well. Historically geothermal activity is the biggest driver of CO2 levels.

Under sea volcanos spit out hot hydrocarbons (oil)

...subsea volcanos spew out more chemicals than man could ever produce, what I was told, and it makes perfect sense to me, is that South Pacific yellow fin tuna are heavily laden with mercury due to volcanic emissions, among other chemicals ie Hydrogen bromide.
