I love the soda can comparison that was used to explain crater lake Limnic eruptions.
The Lake Nyos disaster always gives me the chills and makes my heart sink. Imagine waking up in the middle of the night suffocating and coughing, the loosing concious when you make it to a sheltered area, to wake up the next day to find all of your family, friends, neighbours, community members, pets and livestock lying dead everywhere? Literally a scene from an apocalypse.

Aquatic plants, algae, and cyanobacteria to specifically reduce the CO2 levels. Genetic engineering the organisms would probably be required I doubt the countries in the surrounding area have enough money to do so, nor does the global community consider it a large enough priority to provide the capitol for them. It's probably easier to reduce carbon emissions and tell the locals that it'd be a good idea to move whilst waiting for the inevitable eruption.

If this CO- build-up happens at cold temperatures and high pressure, then why does it not happen in the Laurentian Great Lakes, particularly Superior, or Lake Baikal? Is it just lack of carbon dioxide penetrating or emerging deep enough to dissolve into the water efficiently? Or does it happen, but these regions are geographically inactive enough to prevent the water from up-churning in the run-away manner?

I'm not a scientist. But I do know something about the contemporary history of Africa. While the methane-Co2 explanation might be part of the cause, nature doesn't cause toxic gases to suddenly emerge and devastate. This has most probably a some dirty secret of industrial toxic wastes from developed countries dumped there playing a role.

The extirpation events are for fauna and not flora, yes? I would expect plant life to do just fine through them if this is the mechanism. Thus, we could perhaps falsify the hypothesis that these two phenomena are mutually related (or even happen at all) if we see massive die-offs of plant life at the same time.

This is easy to fix. Evacuate everyone from around the lake to a proper distance. Drop a big charge of dynamite to the lake bottom. Set it off remotely. Give that bubbly CO2 a good shake and boom and Fizz and wiz the lake is ok for a thousand years. Do it every thousand years. Simple.

If CO2 is denser than air, why would firemen crawl in smoke-filled rooms? I thought CO2 is lighter, so it would rise to the top and the denser air would sink below. By crawling, the firemen would be able to get sufficient oxygen.

We're discussing New Zealand's caldera Lake and how it is demonstrating dangerous signs. Wonder if you have any thoughts on that particular Lake thank you ps they cauldera is bordered by two volcanic mountains. both active.

Mr Ballen has a video where he retells the story about one of these lakes because of how mysterious, at the time, it was and how horrific the people's symptoms seem to be. Pretty sure it was the first one but can't remember now.

Rig a bunch of depth charges all around the deep parts of the lake. Equip every home which is near the lake with an oxygen tank for those who can't evacuate, then wait for a big storm with a lot of wind to come in. Detonate.

Biology can solve the problem (and create new ones. A microscopic organism that uses the carbon dioxide would slowly deplete the available CO2. Sequestering it into a calcium or a similar compound would be ideal.

So a lake naturally explodes and people want to stop it. Instead of relocation away from it, the answer is to stop it. What if they stop it and it throws the ecosystem off its kilter?

Set up drills and provide emergency oxygen to all household and businesses and 24/7 monitoring of the lake in likely event of exploding they can breath till it passes

How about this?
Evacuate the locals temporarily, explode a large bomb underwater to make the lake explode on it's own.
The lake's safe for another thousand years.

-Co2 dissolves much more readily in cold water- ahhh so is that why warm soda tastes more flat than cold soda even if it hasn't been opened already?

use some off the gas for energy then reduce the depth of the lake with infill It may take a bit of time but it might be worth it

Would you possibly tell me the name of the track that starts at 5: 05 and runs to the end of the video? sounds very chilly. ;)

Carbon dioxide isn't in itself toxic or poisonous. It's the displacement of oxygen from the atmosphere that kills you.

CO2 is not denser than air, CO2 is a component of air. I think you meant to say, -CO2 is denser than oxygen.

start digging an aqueduct to the other nearest body of water. Just takes more time than anything else.

So? What? Are they going to say that 2% of the air matters more than two million lives? These people.
