Le Bos, mais pourquoi pas la France?!

But why not France, Bos!? The news release Independent investigators have failed to confirm the reports of enhanced concentrations of spherules and platinum-group elements in YD boundary sediments. Boslough, Surovell et al., January 30, 2013, Arguments and Evidence Against a Younger Dryas Impact Event    Interhemispheric evidence of a cosmic impact 12.9 ka is known now…

Salt in the Wound: The Bos Not Reading Papers

Obviously, this whole “salting” thing from The Bos has got me hopping mad — and for good reason. By implying that the sites were “salted,” The Bos raises the issue of fraud or conspiracy surrounding the modern date he got on his YDB carbon spherule from Gainey, Michigan. But there’s a problem with that accusation — the YDB group published a modern date of the same…

Steamed: Ted Bunch From the Heart On Boslough and Scott

This afternoon former NASA geochemist Ted Bunch dropped the Tusk the note below. It is thrilling to see a core YDB researcher with a five decade track record [and here] willing to stand up to his bullies in frank and personal terms, outside the stilted literature and self-serving press releases. The recent Boslough et al. paper and coordinated press releases are insulting to Dr. Bunch.

Napier: Not So Fast Bos....

The banner image above is Comet 73/P Schwassman-Wachmann fragmenting in orbit  ABSTRACT Intersection with the debris of a large (50-100 km) short-period comet during the Upper Palaeolithic provides a satisfactory explanation for the catastrophe of celestial origin which has been postulated to have occurred around 12900 BP, and which pre-saged a return to ice age conditions of duration 1300 years.

Typical: Boslough ignores LeCompte

 [See comments: Boslough responds!] Boslough et al’s recent paper gives no less than nine separate citations to Todd Surovell’s 2009 publication: An independent evaluation of the Younger Dryas extra-terrestrial hypothesis. The multiple references are not surprising given that the Surovell paper has become a totem of Boslough and other’s crusade to end research into…

Holy Hagiography!: Boslough "Jonesed" By Sandia Labs

I have seen some fawning press releases in my day but this is the most obsequious schlock I have ever encountered. Mark or his mum must have stayed up real late writing this one. I seriously doubt any “synthesis” rebuttal paper containing so little original work (What did kill all those animals? Global warming?) has ever been touted by a federally funded institution in so silly and…

The CRG Strikes Again: Deep Sea Sediments Support Younger Dryas Impact

“The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.” — John Maynard Keynes Once again, the Comet Research Group has dealt a blow to mainstream serenity. In a paper published this week in PLOS One, the CRG’s A-team reports startling new findings from ocean sediment cores that appear to support the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis — the audacious…

Gunther Kletetschka Drops the Tunguska Hammer

Dr. Gunther Kletetschka—a proud Cosmic Summit 2025 speaker—has published a must-read paper that delivers another solid blow to the crumbling edifice of skeptical objections to the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDIH). The article, titled “Misunderstandings about the Tunguska Airburst Event,” was published this summer and is hosted here at ScienceOpen. Kletetschka brings to bear a…

Nature: Scientific Retractions

Guest Edited by Marc D. Young In a profoundly disappointing and frankly disgusting turn of events, Nature Scientific Reports has made the decision today to retract one of the most important and widely-read scientific papers of all time. Years of relentless harrassment of the Editor In Chief of Nature Scientific Reports has finally seen him cave. Rather than simply blocking email addresses to…
