Abstract / Description of output

In their comment, Jorgeson, Breslawski and Fisher challenge comments made in the earlier review paper “The Younger Dryas impact hypothesis: Review of the impact evidence” by Sweatman. All these comments pertain to prior work by Jorgeson, Breslawski and Fisher concerning the synchroneity of radiocarbon measurements taken directly from the Younger Dryas boundary “Radiocarbon simulation fails to support the temporal synchroneity requirement of the Younger Dryas impact hypothesis”. Here, it is explained how Jorgeson, Breslawski and Fisher's earlier work and recent comments display an unsupportable confidence in modelling the radiocarbon data from the Younger Dryas boundary.
