The Carnian Deluge: How Volcanic Rain Sparked Evolution

A shocking climate crisis. A world reshaped. A new age of life on Earth.

Over 230 million years ago, Earth experienced a cataclysmic event that forever changed the course of life on our planet—the Carnian Pluvial Event. In this gripping exploration, The Carnian Deluge uncovers the stunning story of how violent volcanic eruptions triggered an unrelenting, world-altering rainfall that lasted for over a million years. This downpour sparked dramatic transformations in Earth's ecosystems, from the rise of the first dinosaurs to the collapse of oceanic life.

What caused such an unprecedented shift in our planet’s climate?
How did a simple change in weather patterns lead to the explosive evolution of some of Earth's most iconic creatures?
And most importantly—what lessons can we learn from this ancient event to tackle our modern climate crisis?

In this eye-opening account, you'll journey back in time to witness the eruption of volcanoes in the ancient Wrangellian province, whose gases filled the atmosphere, triggering massive changes that reshaped entire landscapes. Discover how the rain that followed turned dry, barren deserts into lush, thriving jungles, and how the very atmosphere itself transformed to give rise to the dinosaurs—creatures that would dominate the planet for millions of years.

This book isn’t just a deep dive into Earth’s history; it’s a wake-up call for our future. As our world grapples with the consequences of human-driven climate change, the Carnian Pluvial Event serves as a stark reminder of what happens when global systems are thrown into chaos.
