Ballpark estimates are still very prone to major errors
and miscalculations.
There are not enough sensors to accurately calculate emissions of volcanoes, and certainly, not enough accurate research to draw accurate conclusions from the data. The research that attempts to draw conclusions from the "gathered data", has major flaws in the capture of the data, and in the picking and choosing of the data, and in the models used to analyze the data, and in the methods used by those researches to attempt to massage all of the above in order to arrive at their predefined set of conclusions that they were after to begin with.
IOW, the science is corrupt from beginning to end, and the analysis from volcanoes is part of that flawed research.
