How about [this](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/251557038_The_Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesis_A_requiem) one? Or [this](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4938604/) one? Or [this](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/history-of-geology/httpblogsscientificamericancomhistory-of-geology20110727the-younger-dryas-impact-hypothesis/)? Or pick your own from the citations in [the Wikipedia article](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younger_Dryas_impact_hypothesis#Criticism).
