However, we can see evidence for gigantic flows and floods that were far removed from the ice sheets. So we can't blame it directly on rapid melting of the ice sheets. But, I mean, it has to be pluvial, meaning rainfall, extreme rainfall.

who's oh i'm sure there's somebody uh give me some you know if i start thinking about it there's there's a small but growing list and i've noticed that um there's definitely a new generation of geology students i've gotten quite a few contacts from yeah i'm enrolled in geology and you know at such and such university and what you're saying seems to make more sense to me than

Yeah, I think it's happening. It's probably going to take another decade or so.

I know, but I'm really trying to... You are.

Well... Okay, but I started formally studying geology in the 1970s. I've been out in the field with, God, I don't know, 15 or 20 geologists doing this kind of work. I've read thousands of geology papers. I've covered, I'm guessing, 200,000 miles in the field. And I figure I've put in enough time to have an opinion. I've earned the right to have an opinion on this.

Oh yeah. I mean, uh, the last tour I did of, of, of, uh, the Cumberland plateau in, uh, Tennessee and Kentucky showing evidence of catastrophic erosion. There was two geologists that came on there and they were well-established geologists. They weren't students. They were professional geologists. And I've ended up getting quite a few geologists that have come on these tours.

And, you know, sometimes they'll, they ask a lot of questions and, you know, which I appreciate because sometimes I'll get a different perspective or a different angle. But, you know, I'm usually at this point able to pretty much you know, explain, you know, we, we go out there and the evidence of the field is pretty, pretty convincing.

Well, the geologists that look at this admit, yeah. I mean, they acknowledge that, yeah, you're looking at... Victor Baker in 1973, when he was a grad, I think still a graduate student, he wrote a paper on his studies northeast of Spokane, Washington. And up to this point, nobody had ever done a detailed hydraulic analysis of these flows.
