If you read the references and sources I've cited as well as the review cited by Pat Cassen, I think it will be clear that for the almost exclusively human contribution to be refuted would require more than
measurement uncertainties in C12 / C13 ratios (although Pat Cassen's reference addresses the methodology quite well).
