Carbon 14 dating is based on C-14 imbedding being CONSTANT.No.

Good source for dispelling C14 myths.

I was wondering how many of the usual group will latch onto this as proof positive that global warming is a hoax, but will then turn around in another thread and lambast C14 dating as unreliable.What this article proves is that - contrary to the mindless sputterings of talking heads in the media - there is no consensus among scientists that global warming is caused by industrial release of greenhouse gases. You don't have to believe in carbon-14 dating in order to understand that.

Except that this study is based upon the amounts of C14 in deceased organic materials -- the same system used to date those materials.

Most Active Sun in 8,000 Years.This may only be anecdotal evidence, and/or a statistical outlier, but up my way the Sun has been rising later and later every dang morning lately!
That's not what I call getting more active!

I understand that, but first of all, they're not actually using these measurements for the purpose of dating, but for the purpose of measuring the levels of sunspot activities in the past. Even if the 8,000-year figure isn't accurate, it still would show that this is the most active sun in a long time.
Secondly and more importantly, regardless of whether or not this technique is valid for any purpose at all, the scientists believe it to be valid, which disproves the notion that there's a consensus in the scientific community that global warming is human-induced.

You still do not understand. These guys are using the same techniques to determine the extent of Solar activity that they use for dating finds. If one is valid, the other is, too.

Nope. They are using C14 level expected(tree ring count) vs Measured C14 level to back calculate original C14 levels.
Which explains the limited time frame of about 10K years as that is the scope of the tree ring calander.
BTW creationists explain away >6K years worth of tree rings and ice layers by postulating more rapid season changes in the past.

John Kerry: "We need to build a global consensus to ensure that we do not unilaterally provoke any further eruptions from the sun's chromosphere to the point where UN nuclear inspectors would deduce it becoming a hazard environmentally to those we love and cherish among the global community, and any President that fails to address this issue is not fit to be Commander in Chief."

A killshot would be when a mega-solar flare fires and it happens to be aimed at the earth. It would be like a great solar tongue, many time larger than the one recorded on
05NOV03, reaching out and licking clean the side of the earth facing the sun.
Ed Dames, referenced by a later poster, is a remote viewer (whos views I do not ascribe to) that claims to be able to not just to see across space, but time. He claims a killshot is in our near future.
