There is a connection between solar flares and earthquakes.

Researchers at Kyoto University found there was a link between these flares and earthquakes and that because the delicate balance in forces inside the Earth were being pushed by magnetic resonance.

So, if these storms cause Earthquakes are they perhaps also causing the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide? We've seen a decided uptik in solar storms in recent years, especially after 2008, but going well back before (in 1989 a big solar storm knocked out Quebec's power grid, for instance). If these storms trigger quakes, why wouldn't they trigger outgassing of carbon dioxide?

Inquiring minds want to know.
