I heard a talk by Hoffman at an AGU meeting regarding CO2 flows, and he was ignored. Continental drift was ignored from about 1915 to 1970 even though convincing measurements were made as early as 1912.
Hoffman's general approach on CO2 flows is described at http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-bib_query?bibcode=2002AGUFM.P51B0354H&db_key=AST&high=4061e3e63a18001

Hi, everyone.
Under what circumstances does CO2 become a liquid? I was under the impression that, on earth, at least, it turns straight from a solid into a gas. It seems to me that its existance as a liquid would be highly unstable, at best, and that the likelihood that a standing body of liquid CO2 could exist long enough to create layered bedrock is virtually nil.
