Volcanoes contributing to global warming?

Hi, new to this site. I was perusing the topics about global warming, and unless I missed something, I didn't see anything about volcanoes and possible contributions to this effect.

Quite simply, at least one volcano, the Long Valley Caldera in California, USA, spews up to 300 TONS of carbon dioxide a DAY into the ground and atmosphere, I don't know what the total output of similar activity worldwide, on a daily basis, would be.

Does anyone ever take that CO2 going into the atmosphere into consideration when talking about humankind's impact on global warming?

Just curious...
