A major academic paper once challenged historians to take climate seriously in shaping human history. At the time, the idea was dismissed as “climate determinism.” Today, that assumption is getting harder to defend.

Climate has shifted dramatically within human history. Seas have vanished and returned. Land has risen and sunk. Vast valleys were carved by water through solid rock. These changes aren’t myths... they’re the evidence geologists use to understand how ancient humanity really is. The deeper the layers, the stranger the story.

Extinction by Nuclear War and Climate Change have the same probability: 1-in-1000. But the climate has been changing - and modern technology and techniques can reconstruct the climate. We can determine 400,000 years of climate change from ice cores, ocean water and marine organisms alone that speak directly to global temperatures. When you plot the modern global temperature red line placed against that 400,000-year baseline - its position reframes the current climate narrative entirely.

Radiocarbon dating changed everything. It showed that major climate shifts did not always unfold slowly over tens of thousands of years. Some happened fast. Abrupt. Catastrophic. Science still cannot fully explain what triggers an ice age, or what ends one. The mechanisms are not settled. The system is dynamic, complex, and still unfolding. Change is the constant. The timeline is the mystery.

Around 12,800 years ago, global temperatures plunged...fast. This event, known as the Younger Dryas, marks the violent ending of the Pleistocene and the unstable doorway into the Holocene. Not a smooth transition… a hard stop. | The Randall Carlson

For most of the 20th century, scientists believed ice ages ended slowly over tens of thousands of years. Radiocarbon dating changed that story. By the 1970s, evidence showed Earth can shift from full glacial conditions to interglacial climates in a fraction of that time. Natural climate change has always been abrupt, powerful, and central to human history. Ignoring that past leaves an incomplete picture of the present. | The Randall Carlson
