I tend to slack off posting in the summer, which means we have some catching up to do.

In 2009 the newly proposed Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis was knee capped by Surovell et al. To this day, despite a comprehensive 2012 expose of Todd Surovell’s flaws, his premature rejection of the YD impact is uncritically cited by opponents of the evidence and remains the final word in many closed minds.

It’s summer and posting YouTube videos is certainly in order. Here’s a good one I had missed: In 2020 Jimmy Corsetti, Jahannah James and the Tusk were fellow travelers in Egypt. In fact, we explored the ‘Osiris Shaft’ on the Giza Plateau together. My favorite thing about the trip was hanging with popular communicators like these two and Ben of UnchartedX, who I knew would…

An Open Letter on Panspermia

The Tusk tossed the following question to the Dark Horse Podcast in hopes that the dynamic duo of Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein will address Panspermia in an upcoming show. They are the PERFECT intellectuals to investigate and speak to the work of Hoyle and Wickramasinghe. I have submitted the question to them on Patreon and Twitter.

The failure to properly report evidence for the Younger Dryas Impact will one day be understood as the worst intellectual crime in the history of science journalism. I recently came across an illustrative example in the work of Alexandra Witze. In March Alex published a hagiography of Wally Broecker and his lifetime of work on our favorite ancient climate crash. …
