Ok, let them say “the science is settled” on this one. It’s not going to lead to a $200 trillion tax on the global economy. (Is it?)
Ha ha! I expect that someone will write a paper refuting this. it’s been going on for quite a while.
On a related front, the last juried paper trying to say that meteorites are strictly an atmospheric phenomenon and were not “rocks from space” was published in 1912! And the nature of Barringer Crater was debated for a long long time.
