Volcanoes emit HCl not CFCs, both have different reactions and half-lives and volcanic eruptions rarely reach the stratosphere, only the troposphere. What you're saying turns out to be a common myth when I googled it. I don't know what Al Gore said, I've never seen that movie so I won't comment on that.

Here you go.
ETA: If you look into global warming and understand its effects, you should also understand that it's hardly just about greenhouse gases. Most of the chemical reactions that lead to climate change tend to run on positive feedback, meaning a snowballing effect. So it's not just about how much greenhouse gases, it's also about how long they stay there before they get to their "sinks" and what these sinks are and how that affects the environment and the climate. It's not as simplistic as most people think it is because I don't think this is even taught in the US schools, is it? Or it probably is taught like evolution, half heartedly.
