Mefite d'Ansanto, Italy is the den of the goddess Mefite, acc to Roman lore. She burps nearly 1Mt CO2 annually and the area is unsafe for animals & humans due to high CO2 concentrations.

1Mt/a is what ClimeWorks says their CCS in Iceland removes by 2030...

Dunno if the uptick of volcanic activity due to #ClimateChange (post-glacial rebound) is going to threaten the CCS installation.

It is the uptick in volcanic activity which had me search for papers, and come across this particular one.
Because I wonder whether volcanos can become a carbon bomb.
After all, it is said that CO2 from volcanos played a major role when Earth climbed out of ice ages.
They're coming alive in post-glacial rebound and #SeaLevelRise triggers near-coastal volcano eruptions.
At the moment, volcanos contribute an estimated 350Mt/a CO2.
A 10-fold increase in volcanic degassing would take 30 years for +0.1°C when 100 to 150Gt CO2 equal +0.1°C.
