How Reliable is Proxy Data for Understanding Past Climate Trends?

Proxy data is cool, but it’s not perfect. Like, tree rings can be affected by stuff like pests or soil changes, which messes with the data.

I’d recommend looking into Bayesian reconstruction methods. They’re a bit complex, but they help account for some of the uncertainties in proxy data.
