. Anyone on here know about radiocarbon14 dating?
Yup. It has a 3-5% error rate so it’s actually very accurate for a 50,000’ view but getting down to the nitty gritty it doesn’t tell us as much as either side wants us to believe.
It’s actually one of my main argument against climate change activists.
Me: So you telling me ice core samples say we are going into an ice age, correct?
Them: Yes
Me: So 2 million years of ice core samples say we are going into an ice age, correct?
Them: Yes
Me: And a sudden massive rise in carbon caused the warming trend?
Them: Yes
Me: How do you account for the error rate in carbon dating?
Them: ?
Me: Carbon dating has between a 3-5% accuracy rate. Whats that in terms of a percentage of 2 million years?
Them: ?
Me: How many 1000’s of years did the ice ages last?
Them: ?
Me: So you can’t 100% tell me that the carbon rise your talking about happened before the ice froze and not after it melted revealing all the frozen death and destruction left to thaw out and decay?
Them: You’re a climate denier that is killing the earth.
Me: Time to go fire up my V8 drive home. Stack a bunch of brush up and have a nice bonfire. Have a nice day.
