Carbon Emissions in Europe

As I understand it, when a Volcano erupts, a heap of carbon is poured into the atmosphere.

Another HUGE carbon emitter is Jet Aeroplanes.

Since the Volcano in Iceland erupted on Thursday around 63,000 flights have been cancelled in Europe.

I wonder if the effect has increased or reduced the Earth’s carbon emissions.
