 Recent Discussion of Younger Dryas impact Hypothesis

Hi,

Unsurprisingly, Sweatman, Powell, and West have replied to Holliday et

al. (2023)’s refutation of the YDIH with Sweatman et al. (2024). In response,

Holliday and associates replied with Holliday et al. (2024) and an open access

supplementary material, YDIH Skeptics (2024).

The publications are:

Holliday, V.T., Daulton, T.L., Bartlein, P.J., Boslough, M.B., Breslawski, R.P.,

Fisher, A.E., Jorgeson, I.A., Scott, A.C., Koeberl, C., Marlon, J.R. and

Severinghaus, J., 2023. Comprehensive refutation of the Younger Dryas

Impact Hypothesis (YDIH). Earth-Science Reviews, 247, p.104502.

I wonder how much time and money has been spent researching, debating, writing,

and publishing on this topic.

Yours,
