As a wiseman once told me, long periods of quiessence are subject to interruption by stochastic attacks with surprising frequency. So it was no surprise to the Tusk to see the YD impact deniers crawl out of the woodwork and publish a shrill and hysterical denial of peer-reviewed data last week.
I’m happy to publish the ad hominem and unscientific embarrassment that is Holliday et al. 2023. I…
