Any implications for radio-carbon dating?

Dupe from another news source: "Radioactive traces in tree rings reveal Earth’s history of ‘radiation storms’"

Yes.

Probably a better article 3 days ago here - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33340066

It's very interesting. It's been known for a while but they are narrowing the possible reasons with this new research.

Given it's perhaps a pandemic level of destruction, with 8% chance during a person lifetime and actually fun to research you'd think more would done.

It's already accounted for. Radiocarbon dating is calibrated to historical carbon-14 ratios measured from tree rings.

Is there a timeline graph of these events somewhere?

Related, read the “Adam and Eve Story” by Henry Chan and check out suspicious0bservers.org.

The magnetic fields of the earth and sun are linked. I’m worried about the weakening and rapidly shifting poles of earth’s magnetic field. I think it could be a warning of an event with our sun.
