18、nhouse gases generated by volcanoes has been making its way around the rumor mill for years。 And while it seems to be reasonable， the science just doesnt back it up。According to the US Geological Survey（USGS)， the worlds volcanoes， both on land and undersea， generate about 200 million tons of carbon

19、 dioxide(CO2） annually, while our automotive and industrial activities cause some 24 billion tons of CO2 emissions every year worldwide。 Despite the arguments to the contrary, the facts speak for themselves： Greenhouse gas emissions from volcanoes compose less than one percent of those generated by

20、todays human activities。Another indication that human emissions surpass those of volcanoes is the fact that atmospheric CO2 levels, as measured by sampling stations around the world, have gone up consistently year after year regardless of whether or not there have been major volcanic eruptions in sp

21、ecific years. “If it were true that individual volcanic eruptions dominated human emissions and were causing the rise in carbon dioxide concentrations, then these carbon dioxide records would be full of spikes one for each eruption，” says Coby Beck， a journalist writing for online environmental news

22、。 “Instead， such records show a smooth and regular trend.Furthermore， some scientists believe that volcanic eruptions， like that of Mt。St。 Helens in 1980 and Mt。 Pinatubo in 1991, actually lead to shortterm global cooling, not warming, as sulfur dioxide(SO2)， ash and other particles in the air and s

23、tratosphere（平流层） reflect some solar energy instead of letting it into Earths atmosphere. SO2, which converts(转变） to sulfuric acid aerosol， when it hits the stratosphere, can linger there for as long as seven years and can exercise a cooling effect long after a volcanic eruption has taken place.Scien

24、tists tracking the effects of the major 1991 eruption of the Philippines Mt. Pinatubo found that the overall effect of the blast was to cool the surface of the Earth globally by some 0.5 degrees Celsius a year later, even though rising human greenhouse gas emissions and an El Nino event caused some

25、surface warming during the 19911993 study period。In an interesting twist on the issue, British researchers last year published an article in the peer reviewed scientific journal Nature showing how volcanic activity may be contributing to the melting of ice caps in Antarctica but not because of any e

26、missions, natural or man-made。 Instead， scientists Hugh Corr and David Vaughan of the British Antarctic Survey believe that volcanoes underneath Antarctica may be melting the continents ice sheets from below, just as warming air temperatures from human-induced emissions erode them from above.Accordi

30、nomenon.DThe cancer death rate in the U.S。 fell by the most on record as advances in treatments for lung tumors (肿瘤) like video-assisted surgery helped prolong the lives of patients。The death rate from cancer has been gradually declining for 26 years， thanks in large part to fewer people smoking cig

31、arettes. But from 2019 to 2020, the most recent period available， it dropped by 2.2， the most ever in a single year, according to a report released Wednesday by the American Cancer Society. That compares with an average 1.5% yearly decline over the decade. The drop translates to roughly 2.9 million

32、fewer cancer deaths than what would have occurred had death rates remained at their peak. For lung cancer specifically, the death rate declined 4。3% annually from 2013 to 2017。“It is really lung cancer that is driving this,” said Rebecca Siegel， scientific director of surveillance research at the Am

33、erican Cancer Society， and lead author on the new study. “We found increases in survival for lung cancer at every stage in diagnosis。 She attributed the lower deaths to improvements in treatments， including videoassisted surgery that enables more patients with early lung tumors to become qualified f

At later stages of illness， new, targeted drugs that aim at specific diseasecausing genes are helping patients w

35、hose tumors have those genetic flaws(缺陷）。 Overall, lung cancer death rates have dropped by 51% for men since their peak in 1990， and by 26 for women since their peak in 2002.Theres the potential for more progress in future reports. Thats because the latest deathrate statistics go only through 2020,

36、and likely dont include the potential impact in lung cancer death from immunetherapy drugs。 They became widely used in lung cancer only in the past few years。The report， based on U.S. government data， isnt all good news。 Prostate(前列腺） cancer death rates have leveled off recently after a period of de

37、cline。 That may be because many doctors pulled back on using the controversial prostate-specific antigen test， or PSA, which can spot the disease but can lead to over-treatment of men who may never have died from their tumors。“Though it was definitely causing harm, it was also contributing to declin

38、es in death,” Siegel said。 Whats needed now is better screening tests to detect only the prostate cancers that will go on to cause harm.Population death rates are considered one of the most reliable ways of measuring progress in cancer treatment and prevention。 By contrast， cancer survival rates can

39、 sometimes be influenced by improvements in diagnosing tiny， early stage tumors that wouldnt necessarily be deadly。According to paragraph 2, _。cancer death rate reached its peak in 2017death rate decreases over the past 2 decades2。9 million people die of cancer in America every yearmost of the cance
