New research suggests that large igneous provinces, massive volcanic regions, release "cryptic carbon"—CO2 dissolved in underground magma—long after surface eruptions cease. This prolonged CO2 release, modeled using simulations, may explain extended warming periods and mass extinctions following past eruptions. The study highlights the potential importance of this slow, sustained CO2 release in understanding past climate change and offers insights into the impacts of current human-caused emissions by using past events as an analogue. The researchers emphasize the scale of these volcanic events and their significant impact on Earth's climate and biodiversity. P. Geo. Ricardo A Valls, M.
