What part of "Holocene peat deposits" are you having a hard time understanding?
Holocene - Wikipedia
This is about the equivalent of postulating that since all these WWII artifacts are less than 100 years old, the earth is 100 years old or less.
The article doesn't say that 'nothing in Siberia is less than 9,500 years old'. The article is about a specific strata, 'Holocene peat deposits' grew faster than previously estimated.
Your spin on this article is incredibly deceptive or simply uninformed, possibly both.
Edited by EighteenDelta, : toned down

"Debate is an art form. It is about the winning of arguments. It is not about the discovery of truth. There are certain rules and procedures to debate that really have nothing to do with establishing fact ” which creationists have mastered. Some of those rules are: never say anything positive about your own position because it can be attacked, but chip away at what appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent's position. They are good at that. I don't think I could beat the creationists at debate. I can tie them. But in courtrooms they are terrible, because in courtrooms you cannot give speeches. In a courtroom you have to answer direct questions about the positive status of your belief. We destroyed them in Arkansas. On the second day of the two-week trial we had our victory party!"
