I believe I understand how snowball earths can arise (more plants -> less greenhouse gasses -> colder climate). What I don’t get is how snowball earths can get out of the cold spiral. Is it catastrophic meteoric events? Volcanoes adding more CO2 without any plants to consume it?

- Zamicol 3y agoYes volcanoes. "The Story of Earth" touches on it. Good book.
- matkoniecz 3y agoI remember supervolcano eruptions being postulated as way to break cycle. (in addition to longterm heavy volcanism/impacts)
