It is fun to see curious and smart people across the planet learn of our theory, and add content to the internet that allows rational consideration of the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis.
In a well produced effort, this cat provides some informed science communication. Despite disagreeing with the Tusk on a point or two, it is a middle-of-the-road video, and well worth watching.
I look forward to…

This week is “abstract reveal” week for the enormous annual conference of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) held each December (See Tusk at 2009 AGU). So each year around this time I search the AGU website for any coming presentations concerning the Younger Dryas and cosmic impact.
Fall Meeting 2019 San Fran turned up an interesting hit. Mukul Sharma, a geochemistry…

The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis achieved its first publishing “Three-Peet” of supportive papers this month. It started with the Thackeray paper the first week, then came the Moore paper in week two, and now at the end of October comes…

New evidence that an extraterrestrial collision 12,800 years ago triggered an abrupt climate change for Earth
The muck that’s been accumulating at the bottom of this lake for 20,000 years is like a climate time capsule.

What kicked off the Earth’s rapid cooling 12,800 years ago?
In the space of just a couple of years, average…

Martin Sweatman, when not writing a profound book, is building quite a nice catalog of videos concerning the YDIH and related subjects. This one is particularly welcome and represents the best walk-though of the debate, paper by paper, twist by turn, since Hancock’s careful narration here. This is invaluable science communication and should be viewed by anyone interested in the subject, pro…

This confirmation of a South African platinum layer from the Younger Dryas Impact was particularly welcome for several reasons. First, it is another confirmation of evidence for the impact in the Southern Hemisphere, following the Pilauco paper from Chile in March of this year.
Second, the lead author, Francis Thackeray, is no light weight, as…

Folks, I am sorry to have been so scarce in recent months. Among other excuses for the inexcusable, the auto-mailer for subscribers to the site went down, and I felt I needed to repair it before posting. Fixing it turned into a mess which led to my continued procrastination. Much has happened in recent months in our subject though, and I look forward to catching up and posting more, as the year…

The main objective of this study was to test the YDB impact hypothesis by analyzing a wide range of data from the Pilauco site in southern Chile. The following conclusions show that our data and interpretations are consistent with the YDB impact hypothesis and we found no evidence that refutes the hypothesis.
(1) At Pilauco, ~12,800-year-old peaks in high-temperature Pt-rich and native-Fe…
