Thank you to a Geologist acquaintance for the Imperial ENGINEER Autumn 2019 paper.
Climate has always changed throughout Earth’s geological history. The present study is another investigation of a submarine volcanic eruption causing regional ocean warming as a cause of climate change over and above anthropogenic carbon dioxide, in true scientific tradition.
(Anthropogenic definition is - of, relating to, or resulting from the influence of human beings on nature.).
The recent eruption of 5 cubic Kilometers of basalt magma onto the Indian Ocean sea floor at a temperature of around 1000 C will have significantly warmed the Indian Ocean and it would appear caused the positive Indian Ocean Dipole which has had a significant impact on recent East African cyclones and flooding and East Australian dry and associated fires.
It will be interesting to see how follow up research develops the apparently plausible hypothesis.
