Please give us a clue as to the contribution of volcanoes and how we can
mitigate their effects.


Volcanoes contribute less than 1% the amount the fossil fuels contribute.

I don't think there is anything that can be done directly to prevent
volcanic emissions, so mitigation would require "carbon capture" of some
sort, such vegetation, or man-made systems like those being developed
for that fossil fuel power plants.

Just curious---thousands of years ago there was 2 mile thick ice on
the property I own here in western Washington. Since this no longer
is the case, doesn't it appear we have been in a global warming
situation since way before the industrial revolution. Could we blame
this whole thing starting on the original inhabitants of earth?


No, the recent and rapid rise in temperature is driven by the recent
rise (and rapid) rise in CO2 in the atmosphere, due to the Industrial
Revolution. The original inhabitants are blameless.
