Commenters in climate and impact-event threads send people to Carlson's Rogan appearances for his account of ancient cataclysms.
A three-hour Joe Rogan podcast with Randall Carlson, builder and geomythologist, on catastrophic geological events, cosmic impacts and climate at the end of the last glacial period.
“he gives an enthralling account of the climate events at the time.” (HN, 2020)
Looks like the maverick geologist Randall Carlson was right. The evidence was pretty damn good, but many in the mainstream geology had a hard time accepting it for some dumb reason. Just goes to show that real scientists should never bow to consensus opinions. The outliers always advance the fields.

Randall Carlson's appearances on climate and impact theory.
For those that would like to hear a mind blowing discussion about climate (and the earth in general), watch all of the podcasts with Joe Rogan, Randall Carlson and Graham Hancock. They are three hours each and I promise you will learn many things that give perspective on the repeat arguments and confusion about the climate. There are many other podcasts with these gentlemen, but here are three to start with.

Three-hour discussion giving perspective on climate and the earth.
I remember hearing on the Joe Rogan podcast[1] about a theory of an impact at the end of the last glacial period, resulting in a short-term reversal of the warming trend known as the Younger Dryas Cooling Event. There was quite a bit of evidence in the form of meltglass and other things accumulating, but the theory was very much not accepted by mainstream science at the time. From the article it sounds like this idea is getting more support. Randall Carlson is pretty out there with his one massive flood theory as opposed to many smaller events. Nonetheless he's not an idiot by any means and he gives an enthralling account of the climate events at the time. Also it sounds like a much more credible explanation for the sudden extinction of large mammals (70% of species in North America.) Only Africa was largely unaffected. Including 100 million mammoths dying off which was previously attributed to human over-hunting - just the logistics of which with spears and primitive bows boggles the mind. [1] [this video]
