The Siberian Traps: Earth’s longest volcanic catastrophe lasted up to 2 million years, starting 252 million years ago. This massive eruption covered over 7 million km² in basalt and released more than 100 trillion tons of CO₂, CH₄, and SO₂. The result? Well...An event friendly nicknamed "The Great Dying".
