Physicist, airburst specialist, planetary defender, & CSI Fellow. I'm critical of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis (YDIH) which has strong links to global warming denial, creationism, & pseudoarchaeology. It relies on misinformation & fake peer review.
25 years ago, Firestone and Topping published the original idea that led to the the book.
It has been 20 years since this seminal YDIH publication by Firestone and West.
These climate denier talking points suggest that Carlson has an undisclosed funding stream.
It is every American’s patriotic duty to call out the BS of climate deniers, anti-vaxxers, “wellness” grifters, & MAGA conspiracy theorists.
Strange sky over the Sandia. What am I looking at? I’ve never seen this phenomenon before.
Is Randall Carlson getting fossil fuel funding? Just asking questions. Why blame humans when you can blame magical comet swarms that defy the laws of physics?
Comet Research Group leader & cofounder George Howard is now platforming a COVID conspiracy theorist.
The founders and leaders of the “Comet Research Group” (George Howard & Allen West) are moving further toward the fringe. They now pal around with the likes of Graham Hancock, Randall Carlson, & Ashton Forbes who are increasingly vocal in mean-spirited contempt for science, scientists, & skeptics.
Pseudoscience grifter Randall Carlson continues to reject CO2 as the driver of global warming. In his assessment as a non-scientist, CO2 is distracting climate scientists from the “cosmic forcing” by the magical comets of the Younger Dryas impact hypotheses,
If only science deniers put as much effort trying to learn scientific facts as they put into tone policing scientists for being accurate in the words we use.
Rick Firestone and Ted Bunch were also "climategate" conspiracy theorists. The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis is fundamentally about denial of anthropogenic climate change and rejection of climate physics.
Anti-science activist and charlatan Randall Carlson is no longer hiding his agenda.
Graham Hancock gets busted for posting a fraudulent video about 26 scientists who "Re-analyzed the Younger Dryas Layer" by one of the 26 scientists! 😂🤣
Call for abstracts related to the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis, airburst archaeology, and other pseudoscience related to geology, geophysics, and related fields. Please share with anyone you think might be interested.
These graphs suggest that they are already giving up on being taken seriously.
I was able to read the names on the placards, but not the professions. This is one of the few things AI seems to be good at. Grok helped.
Today Graham Hancock posted a fake photo with AI versions of Sean Gulick, Megan Bruck Syal, C. Vance Haynes, & Jonathan Overpeck supporting the YDIH. Hancock is leading a race to the bottom. Deep fakes might get clicks and fans, but increases distrust of anyone who pals around with this charlatan.
There’s 20th century scientific catastrophism (Shoemaker, Alvarez, Chapman & Morrison) and 21st century magical catastrophism (West, Firestone, Hancock, Carlson). Take your pick.
