Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years – Committee on Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years Rechtstreeks Van De Fabrikant

In response to a request from Congress, Surface Temperature Reconstructions for the Last 2,000 Years assesses the state of scientific efforts to reconstruct surface temperature records for Earth during approximately the last 2,000 years and the implications of these efforts for our understanding of global climate change. Because widespread, reliable temperature records are available only for the last 150 years, scientists estimate temperatures in the more distant past by analyzing “proxy evidence,” which in…
