I've found his reply: What about carbon dating? By Ken Ham, Jonathan Sarfati, and Carl Wieland. A sample:
In summary, the carbon-14 method, when corrected for the effects of the flood, can give useful results, but needs to be applied carefully. It does not give dates of millions of years and when corrected properly fits well with the biblical flood.
How many howlers can you find in those two sentences?

What's truly astonishing is that there are several true statements in it. It can give useful results. It needs to be applied carefully. It does not give dates of millions of years.

Well, it's particularly easy to correct for The Flood. An affine transformation yields the most reliable results:

T_correct = A * T_measured + B
