PROGRAM NOTE: Can anyone “see” the embedded paper below within the window without a click?! For some reason I cannot…
UPDATE: I can see it now. I should note, however, that these debris were from something that would have CAUSED a tsunami and then rained from above — not from a wave that reached the up-state itself. I knew that when posting but need to clarify I…

I came across the video below this morning on a 2012 site. As regular readers may guess, I don’t get too worked up about next year. But as the 2012 worry-warts research their subject, more and more are coming across the YDB group’s field research and incorporating it into their presentations and arguments regarding the pending Apocalypse.
This is good news – bad news. The good…

Check out this great summary paper from the irrepressible Chandra Wickramasinghe. Wickramasinghe just keeps going and going and going — even without his side-kick Sir Fred Hoyle.
Hoyle and Wickramasinghe’s decades-old contention that life evolved in space and spreads via comets is convincing to me. Not only do they have substantial data indicating this to be the case, it just…

The titles for the talks and posters at the upcoming INQUA session, The Enigmatic Younger Dryas, have been posted for some time. Typical of scientific conferences, the narrative abstract revealing the findings (or musings) of the presenter is posted later, a few weeks before the conference. The abstracts for the conference have now been published.
Here again in Switzerland, in keeping with…

Vance Holliday
Vance Holliday was thoughtful to give the Tusk a heads up on his essay first published here at the Argonaut. I have not read it throughly enough to respond myself right now, but I am certain of this: One or more of the dozen key researchers from the other side of the debate should write something similar. His tender tale of woe and misunderstanding is exceeded only by their…

From PBS’ NOVA site on the Clovis Comet:
“THE ICE AGE EXTINCTION DEBATE (UPDATE)
by Evan Hadingham, NOVA Senior Science Editor
In Megabeasts’ Sudden Death, NOVA reported on a radical new theory that an extraterrestrial impact devastated North America and other regions at the end of the Ice Age. First aired at a conference in May 2007 by a team led by geological…

UPDATE: I failed to add Allen West’s expunged “conviction” to the links below. Here is the order expunging the silly matter from the record. To put this kind of stuff in perspective, I was once fined a similar amount (around $4000) by the North Carolina Attorney General’s office for sediment pollution. Horrors — I am in the pollution control business! Truth…

I have nothing but an iPhone until later tomorrow. So this post is necessarily brief.
Allen West has taken a hit to his credibility (and to some extent the Tusk’s) from charges by Younger Dryas Hypothesis critics ranging from professional misconduct to falsifying lab results.
As an advocate of Allen’s and someone who has spent years watching him personally sacrifice with no financial…
