Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Scientists use proxy methods or climate proxies to reconstruct past climates that extend further back than our present instrumentation allows. These proxies include analyzing tree rings, ice cores, sediment layers, and other indirect evidence. Computer modeling and algorithms are used to analyze this data, but they are not the primary method of reconstructing past climates. Direct measurements and historical records only go back a limited amount of time and are not enough to study long-term climate trends.
