Past attempts to extrapolate the global volcanic CO2 flux have been biased by observations being available for a relatively small number of accessible volcanoes. Here, we propose that the strong, but yet unmeasured, CO2 emissions from several remote degassing volcanoes worldwide can be predicted using regional/global relationships between the CO2/S-T ratio of volcanic gases and whole-rock trace element compositions (e.g., Ba/La). From these globally linked gas/rock compositions, we predict the CO2/S T gas ratio of 34 top-degassing remote volcanoes with no available gas measurements. By scaling to volcanic SO2 fluxes from a global catalogue, we estimate a cumulative "unmeasured" CO2 output of 11.4 +/- 1.1 Mt/ yr (or 0.26 +/- 0.02.10(12) mol/yr). In combination with the measured CO2 output of 27.4 +/- 3.6 Mt/yr (or 0.62 +/- 0.08.10(12) mol/yr), our results constrain the time-averaged (2005-2015) cumulative CO2 flux from the Earth's 91 most actively degassing subaerial volcanoes at 38.7 +/- 2.9 Mt/yr (or 0.88 +/- 0.06.10(12) mol/yr). %$ 066
