In this Presentation from @cosmicsummit 2024, Randall Carlson takes us into the real “dragon lands” of Earth’s past...the places where ancient warnings and modern science meet. Far from myth, these dragons are the catastrophic forces that have shaped our planet: cosmic impacts, abrupt climate shifts, violent meltwater floods, solar upheavals, and rapid environmental swings that have brought civilizations to the edge of collapse. Drawing from geology, astronomy, paleoclimate data, impact science, and Ice Age mapping, Randall shows how Earth’s history is anything but stable. He explains how events like the Younger Dryas, the Tunguska explosion, and sudden glacial transitions reveal a world repeatedly struck by destructive cycles most people never learn about. Topics include: • Cosmic impacts and atmospheric detonations • Sudden warming and cooling events in the ice-core record • Meltwater pulses and megafloods • Solar cycles and Earth’s climate instability • Sea-level changes during the Ice Age • The vulnerability of modern civilization • How ancient cultures encoded warning myths about catastrophe This is a journey into the forces that have reset Earth again and again...the true “dragons” that once ruled our planet, and may do so again.
