What a mixed-up mess of a report. Someone REALLY doesn’t want readers to be able to follow the logic of either side without a LOT of digging.

More evidence — as if any were needed — why nobody should take this kind of “scientific theory” seriously.

I know a Comet carried me to school one day but then a Falcon brought me home. Really “cutting edge and controversial” stuff!

...Yet, the scientists who described the alleged impact in a hallowed U.S. scientific journal refuse to consider the critics evidence insisting they are correct, even though no one can replicate their work: the hallmark of credibility in the scientific world...
...It does feed distrust in science, says Wallace Broecker, a geochemist at Columbia University and an international dean of climate research. Those who dont believe in human-produced global warming grab onto it....
Amazing intellectual disconnect, aka cognitive dissonance.

I read the book and it was more compelling than Obama's ghost written crap.
The fight over the impact theory of dinosaur extinction was really nasty.

I sure liked the comet theory...it went well with some of my own ideas.

I was worried because we hadn't had the final, definitive refutation of this theory in over a month. [snicker] Thanks Renfield and Quix!

Yes, exactly — this theory was and still is rejected was the global warming cult, but none of them belong in the sciences.

Me, too. The comet theory definitely explained why gold in the Ohio Valley is on the hilltops and why it had all the characteristics of gold in Canada in the vicinity of the "splash down".
The folks challenging the theory have no way of explaining the gold ~ I would imagine they think it was rafted in on the glacial lobes that penetrated that area.
Alas, the hills involved were NEVER glaciated in the last 100,000 years.
