Episode #042: Volcanic Eruptions "Upend" YD Impacts Evidence?

Summary

Randall Carlson examines evidence for nanodiamonds in the Oklahoma Panhandle and discusses recent findings related to volcanic eruptions and the Younger Dryas cooling episode. He critiques a new paper linking micro-proxies to these events, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive proof against the Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis. The podcast features discussions on historic flood events and geological theories tied to these phenomena.
