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.

Key takeaways

Transcript excerpt

That's ancientnutrition.com, code protein. This is Cosmographia, the Randall Carlson Podcast. And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to Cosmographia, the Randall Carlson Podcast. I am Russ. This is Kyle. We are Brothers of the Serpent. That's our podcast. And we are joined, as usual, by Bradley. Sir, how are you doing this week? Hey, guys. I think I need a vacation from the isolation. Need a non-hermit vacation. Exactly. Get out amongst people. Yeah. I'm here, guys. Things are well in Atlanta. I had a big thunderstorm today, but it's drying out. And happy birthday to you, guys. Oh, thank you. Yep. Are you guys at Russ's birthdays? Yeah. Russ's birthday. Okay. Yeah, it was my birthday. Because you guys were born on the same—you have the same birthday? Oh, yeah. You guys are twins? No, it was— Russ's birthday, sorry. Yeah. Happy birthday, Saturday. Russ is 42 now. That's right. So, it's all downhill from here, Russ. That's what I've been told. Mm-hmm. That easy cruise, right? Just hop on the skateboard and go. That's it. So, where were we at last week, Randall? We were talking about Greenland, nanodiamonds, and Bull Creek. Yeah, we've been talking about nanodiamonds. Nanodiamonds, really little diamonds. It would have to be seen with transmission electron microscopy. So, we were talking about—I think at the very end, we were talking about the Bull Creek site in Oklahoma. Isn't that what we were talking about? I do believe, yes. And there was an interesting paper that came out back in 2014, I recall, that I have read at the time and reread it just to become more up-to-date on what's been going on there. And apparently, as we discussed last week, you guys found an interview with the lead scientist, Leland C. Bement. ...
