I know it's something that the FM's have been discussing for years, now I have found a useful interactive graphic to show everyone.

I can't see it on my iPad, I'll go fire up my ancient laptop.
So a penguin generates 136,000 tons of CO2
but:

a person in the UK 15 tons
There's something seriously wrong with those values 
I agree El, I can't see how those figures are correct.
How was this info arrived at EC? Are you spying on Penguins now

They're not talking about the animal penguins!
They're talking about Club Penguin - it's an online game run by Disney!
(This might make it clearer: http://visualization.geblogs.c...n/co2/#/data_centres)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_Penguin
BTW: their use of units is a bit inconsistent. They give the output of EyjafjallajÃķkull (which they also misspell 
) as 150,000t but the output of Yellowstone is given as 173kt. It means it can be easy to miscompare things if you're not paying attention...

Thanks for clarifying things, Eugene.

Thanks for explaining that. I've never heard of the Club Penguin game.
