Their findings demonstrate that this trend involves a cooling of -0.3°C per millennium due to gradual changes to the position of the sun and an increase in the distance between the Earth and the sun.
The Earth keeps gaining a relatively small amount of mass, online I see estimates from 10^7 to 10^9 kg per day, with the mass of the Earth about 6*10^24 kg. The Earth’s orbital speed over time should be slightly slowing due to drag from whatever particles are out there. I would think both of those would lead to the Earth getting closer to the Sun.
So why is the Earth moving away from the Sun? Is the Sun shedding so much mass (and energy that was mass) that its gravitational force is weakening?

Why not just accept that they are unreliable indicators of past climate?

It isn’t the trees that are unreliable, it is the “calibration” methodology used by some climate scientists. A Lucia showed on her web-site, the divergence problem is a result of calibration.
It is interesting to note that this study does not demonstrate the divergence problem, which suggests that it does not have the calibration flaw found in the papers such and Mann and more recently Gergis.
