The so-called "Seuss Effect” was the dubious ratio of Carbon 12 to Carbon 13 as indicative of human activity changing the mix of Carbon isotopes in our atmosphere. The central premise is that Carbon 14 should be constant or declining because man’s combustion of coal has been diluting the amount of atmospheric Carbon 14 naturally produced by cosmic ray bombardment. Carbon 14 decays to non-detectable (de minimus) quantities in 50,000 to 60,000 years. Ergo, coal beds were laid down millions of years ago and they should have no Carbon 14.

At least two items are wrong with these assumptions:

1) Carbon 14 produced by cosmic ray bombardment of Nitrogen 14 is not constant. Look up Miyake Events.

2) With analytic techniques not available to Charles Keeling, et al, Carbon 14 has been found in coal beds plus deep earth diamonds. These findings have been dismissed out of hand because they have been presented by those believing in the Biblical chronology of the Earth, which places Earth’s life in the thousands of years, not millions nor billions.

However, the presence of Carbon 14 in some of these deep Earth findings supports the concept of the GeoReactor put forward by Herndon, Tuttle, Ragavan, et al. A naturally-occurring Fast Neutron Breeder Reactor at the core of all major celestial bodies. Stars are ignited the same as a Hydrogen bomb. Fission igniting Fusion. K.P. Lin and colleagues have estimated the remaining life of the GeoReactor at approx. 2 billion years.

But don’t worry, as the Sun grows out into a Red Giant, in approx. 1 billion years our great, great, great, great grandchildren will all be crispy critters so the Warmists will finally get it correct.

Funny; I've read that much of the decline of carbon 14 was due to atmospheric nuclear bomb testing in the fifties and early sixties. Then suddenly they pulled this crap out of their posteriors and blamedit on industrial emissions diluting the carbon 14. I would add that the Grand Solar Maximum of the late '90's saw a dearth of cosmic rays and thus less c14 would have been created - just as Henirick Svensmark predicted (and the lack of cosmic rays caused there to be less cloud formation to reflect solar energy).

Now, with a quiet sun, we are seeing more c14 in the atmosphere again.

We did not have a baseline for C14 in the atmosphere thanks to those nuclear tests, which caused a big spike in c14. Prior to that we didn't really have all that good data on it.

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore Labs have shown the production of C14 in the atmosphere is natural. https:// www.llnl.gov/ article/42086/ atmospheric-carb on-14-measureme nts-reveal-natu ral-production- rate-cosmic-ray s

I wonder if these geniuses who are pushing climate change alarmism ever asked if the nuclear tests that created the c14 could be the cause of the small warming trend seen in the 20th and 21st centuries? Maybe it has nothing at all to do with industrial emissions? I suspect it was at the root of ozone decline in the latter 20th century (not CFC's which were blamed).

Certainly atmospheric testing creates nitrogen oxides, known greenhouse gases. Certainly gamma rays - which are emitted during an air-burst of a nuclear device - can damage the ozone.https:// phys.org/news/ 2014-12-role-gam ma-ray-life-ext inction.htmlThe ozone blocks radiation. So...if the ozone blocks radiation and we had a reduction in ozone perhaps it's been letting in more energy to the Earth?

At any rate, there are many factors involved here not considered or only mildly considered by the wizards of smart. They simply zeroed in on industrial emissions and that was that.
