Eli5 – ancient climates/weather.

211 views

I actually work in a scientific field (inflammatory diseases) but tbh I do not have the slightest clue about how you can trace back what temperature it could have been at in the year 8500BC +/- hundreds of years. Like are there extrapolations of smaller timeframe models (from when we started recording T to nowadays?) also palaeontology etc. Anyways I’m lost, I await to be enlightened and if there is any pertinent literature I’m a taker 🙂

Tree rings can tell you something about the time the tree was growing and if there was plenty of water, ice core samples can tell you about the amount of gases and how much ice was forming.
