Another paper fails to land any blows against the YDIH
In a new paper, Montanari et al. (2024) claim that they cannot reproduce evidence for the YDIH, but they can find copious evidence for volcanism in the period leading up to the Younger Dryas cooling. Note that one of the co-authors, Christian Koeberl, is also a co-author of the awful Holliday et al. Gish gallop. Montanari et. al (2024) Their work has already been dissected and discarded by Marc Young, YDIH enthusiast and PhD candidate. Below is his analysis taken from an article on Graham Hancock's website [ The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis: A Guide For The Perplexed - Graham Hancock Official Website ] ------------------------- Finally, the latest volcanism-based challenge to the YDIH by established critics was recently published (Montanari et al. 2024). They used the presence of volcanic tephra in a layer dating to 14,400 years ago to cast doubt on the YDIH. Confused? You should be – their paper is utterly nonsensical. Either the authors lack a basic understanding of soil form
