The coincidence of large igneous province (LIP) eruptions with at least three, if not all, of the Big Five biotic crises of the Phanerozoic implies that volcanism is a key driver of mass extinctions. Many LIP-induced extinction scenarios invoke global warming, caused primarily (but not exclusively) by greenhouse gases emitted at the site of LIP emplacement and by contact metamorphism of carbon-rich host rocks. Here we explore (1) the climate- changing products of volcanism including sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from eruptions, contact metamorphism, and melting (dissociation) of gas hydrates; (2) their deadly effects, including marine anoxia and thermal stress; (3) increasingly sophisticated paleotemperature proxies (e.g., δ18O of shell material) through case studies of the best-known LIP-warming-extinction nexi; and (4) global warming through the lens of the putative Anthropocene extinction.
