Episode #102: Solar Variability - Flares, Mass Ejections, Cosmic Rays, Comets

Summary

This episode of The Randall Carlson Podcast delves into a recent paper on tree-ring studies revealing solar influence on Earth's climate. It highlights the work of Gerard Bond, whose contributions to our understanding of North Atlantic climate cycles are often overlooked. The discussion explores the implications of explosive solar events, including Miyake Events, and their connection to Earth's climate dynamics.

Key takeaways

• 1Tree-ring studies from France show spikes of cosmogenic markers correlated with Greenland ice-core records.
• 2Gerard Bond's 2001 paper discusses North Atlantic climate cycles and is referenced but often ignored.
• 3The role of the Sun in climate science has been robustly supported since solar observatories were established.
• 4Miyake Events are significant solar phenomena linked to explosive solar activity influencing Earth's environment.
• 5The podcast features contributions from notable figures, including Kyle and Russ from Brothers of the Serpent.

You got a source for that? You got a source? So I think Randall's got a bunch of stuff planned to discuss today. And there's also an interesting paper that we'll bring up later on a possible giant solar flare a long time ago. So that has been going around. The headlines have been going around about that. Curious timing. Yeah. Interesting. For our younger Dryas and bowling alirads and terminal Pleistocene events. Yep. So what do you got for us today, Randall? What do you got planned? Oh, I'm supposed to have a plan? Yeah, a plan. What's the lesson plan, teacher? It's all on me. I can't handle the stress. Got all those books. Damn. Got to have something. Yeah, well, I thought we'd go through one by one my books, and I will do a quick review, quick synopsis of each book. People have offered to come and categorize everything and make a database, and, you know, I've seen it. Oh, really? Yeah. ...
