A well-funded, global double-blind test of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis is being formulated and could take up to two years to return results — designed to rule the hypothesis in or out, run by people not paid for an outcome. The group's one earlier attempt at independent Greenland ice sampling collapsed due to COVID-19. 🔬🧊
Funded global double-blind test of Younger Dryas impact due within two years
Key facts
- Richards says a well-funded global double-blind replication test of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis is being formulated and is expected to take up to two years to yield results.
- He says the design is intended to rule the hypothesis in or out and is being run by people not paid to produce a particular outcome.
- He says the only major attempted independent sampling of Greenland ice cores by the research group failed because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Both hosts say the hypothesis faces strong academic resistance, and they argue that a confirmed impact would supply a mechanism also invoked for the biblical flood and for Atlantis stories.
