Jim Powell has just published a paper in the Journal of Academic Ethics called "Data vs Derision: the ethics of scientific publishing. The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis as a case study". In it, he labels Holliday et al. and others as "pseudoskeptics", with good reason. He lists the criteria for identifying pseudoskeptics and then shows that Holliday et al. and others fit this description. Importantly, this paper has been peer reviewed by experts in academic ethics.
