riddle me this guys...

how do scientists estimate the temps from 200, 300, 500, 800 or 2000 yrs ago and determine any signifigant pattern in a planet that they claim is billions of yrs old ???

It’s a little like statistics. You can find statistics to prove just about anything you want to. And someone who disagrees with you, can also find statistics to prove you are wrong.

It’s in the reading of the tea leaves. Sometimes they get lucky and sometimes they are later found to be complete fools.
