[Rockhounds] Recent Discussion of Younger Dryas impact Hypothesis (YDIH)

[Paul]

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:

I wonder how much time and money has been spent researching, debating, writing,
and publishing on this topic.

Yours,
