How Reliable is Proxy Data for Understanding Past Climate Trends?

Wow, thanks for all the insights, everyone! I didn’t expect so many thoughtful replies. I’ve been checking out the NOAA Paleoclimatology page and the PAGES website, and they’re super helpful.

I’m still a bit hung up on how we account for anomalies in proxy data, though. Like, what if there were extreme events that didn’t leave a trace? Any thoughts on that?

Also, has anyone tried using machine learning tools for analyzing proxy data? I’m curious if they’re as game-changing as they sound.

Cheers again for all the suggestions—this thread has been a goldmine!
