Open Letter: Napier on Defant and the Joe Rogan podcast

Bill Napier sent the Tusk a note regarding Joe Rogan’s unforgettable debate-style podcast on the Younger Dryas Boundary Hypothesis. Bill’s message is posted below my rant here.

Daily Mail on the Younger Dryas Impact Suppose all the wildest theories and historical conspiracies of novelist Dan Brown were proven true.
