It was always kind of suspect anyway, wasn’t it?

Okay. This one made me laugh out loud.

So all those centuries of spewing volcanoes have nothing to do with it?

We must all revert to communism immediately so that radiocarbon dating will go back to its former razor-sharp accuracy.

After all, the kind of second-rate affirmative-action scientists we have these days have no idea how to use mathematics to correct for slow changes in background data.

So what, we’re not carbon dating the atmosphere.

Good grief.

“Heather Graven, a climate-physics researcher at Imperial College London, after an analysis has found that emissions from fossil fuels are artificially raising the carbon age of the atmosphere.”

Boy is that a full pantload or what.

Sure it does. All that wood burning and wale oil burning in the past didn't cause any pollution or carbon in the atmosphere.

CO2 is absorbed by the ocean and plants quicker than we can produce it. It isn't pollution it is plant food.

OK, so I put a methane detector in my shorts. And carbon date things.

So I am really old, and haven’t changed my shorts in a billion years?

My wife might agree.

LMAO! This makes even less sense than the rest of the global warming nonsense-talk about desperation...

Okay, let’s stop using fuel in order to figure out how old things are...

Radiocarbon dating which is used to estimate the age of every particular thing on earth....

I stopped reading right there. This woman is nuts.

Riddle me this Ms. Graven, what put more CO2 into the atmosphere, one volcano for one day, or man's emissions for one YEAR?

5.56mm

So this means that things that are carbon-dated appear older than they really are.

Fancy that.

I posted some comments at the article itself so if you want to read what a former archaeologist thought about it, please go to it.

Not impressed by the writing or even the theories involved.

Radiocarbon dating is based on the ratio between C12-C14
C14 is created by Cosmic Rays hitting C12 atoms.
Thus if the number of C12 atoms increases, so does the number of C14 atoms created.

In reality its really all Bush’s Fault.
