Can Proxy Data Truly Capture the Full Picture of Historical Climate Trends?

Bro, proxy data is like a time machine for climate science. But yeah, it’s not flawless. Like, sediment layers can get messed up by earthquakes or floods, so scientists have to be super careful.

If you wanna dive deeper, I’d recommend looking into dendrochronology (tree ring dating). There’s a lot of cool research on how they account for weird growth patterns.
