Continuous
series of tree - ring dated wood samples have been obtained for roughly the past 10,000 years which give the approximate correct radiocarbon age, demonstrating the general validity of the conventional radiocarbon dating technique.Several long tree - ring chronologies have been constructed specifically for use in calibrating the radiocarbon time scale.Some may have mistaken this to mean that the sample had been dated to 20,000 radiocarbon years.The second characteristic of the
measurement of radiocarbon is that it is easy to contaminate a sample which contains very little radiocarbon
with enough radiocarbon from the research environment to give it an apparent radiocarbon age which is much less than its actual radiocarbon age.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some
series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport
measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison
with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW
measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).
4) As there are too many parameters and fudge factors lets start from the observations which are only four datasets: (1) Anthropic emissions (figure 17 - E), (2) their time varying delta13C (not shown), (3) CO2 content of the air (since 1958)(figure 4 - A for the 12 months increments) and (4) delta13C of the air (continuous times

measurements before figure 3 - A).

In no way is this comparable to the manufacture of data where no

I do wonder though about the thought processes of some of the more alarmist Climate Scientists — if they were teaching a class and one of their undergraduate students pulled some of the tricks they do in journal articles («a post hoc rationalisation that the «missing heat» is in the one part of the system where there are no reliable
measurements, truncation of data part way through a time
series to only show the bits that agree
with your hypothesis and not the later data that call it into doubt), the student would be failed
