Suppose we were to discover that the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere was significantly

Question:

Suppose we were to discover that the ratio of carbon-14 to carbon-12 in the atmosphere was significantly smaller 10,000 years ago than it is today. How would this affect the ages we have assigned to objects on the basis of carbon-14 dating? In particular, would the true age of an object be greater than or less than the age we had previously assigned to it? Explain.
