Yeah, anytime someone would rather consider the garbage from wattsupwiththat rather than actually consider the centuries of established verified peer reviewed science.
I'm out
There's really no point in arguing religion when science is the subject, and a subject which is obviously going to be ignored, in favor of the ideological nonsense prevalent among the USA right wing nutters and only the American right wing nutters, the rest of humanity, well, they're at least capable of facing reality.
you running again like you did from the CDZ zone??????

Abstract
A large and sudden increase in radiocarbon (14C) around AD 773 are documented in coral skeletons from the South China Sea. The 14C increased by ~ 15‰ during winter, and remain elevated for more than 4 months, then increased and dropped down within two months, forming a spike of 45‰ high in late spring, followed by two smaller spikes. The 14C anomalies coincide with an historic comet collision with the Earth's atmosphere on 17 January AD 773. Comas are known to have percent-levels of nitrogen by weight, and are exposed to cosmic radiation in space. Hence they may be expected to contain highly elevated 14C/12C ratios, as compared to the Earth's atmosphere. The significant input of 14C by comets may have contributed to the fluctuation of 14C in the atmosphere throughout the Earth's history, which should be considered carefully to better constrain the cosmic ray fluctuation
A large and sudden increase in 14C of ~12‰ was reported from a tree ring study in Japan to have occurred between AD 774 and AD 775 (hereafter M12)7. Their modeling showed that the atmospheric level of 14C must have jumped over the course of no longer than a year, corresponding to an increase 10 times larger than the average production from Galactic cosmic rays and 20 times larger than that expected over 2 × 11 yr solar cycles. The measured values were shown to be too large for a solar flare or local supernova. Given that no detectable increase in 14C corresponding to supernovas SN 1006 and SN 1054 were observed7,8, it is argued that much higher energies would be required for the M12 event, if it is related to a supernova7. Alternative explanations for this mysterious 14C elevation include a highly energetic radiation burst, e.g., proton storms from giant solar flares9,10, a giant cometary impact upon the Sun11, or floods of γ-rays from supernova explosions12. Such high levels of radiation however, might also cause mass extinctions13, which are absent following the M12 event. Moreover, it has been argued, based on historical records, that no superflares have occurred in the Sun during the last two millennia14.
