If there is a divergence between proxy and instrument temperature data, what conclusions am I to draw?
If the proxies are not accurate in the current decades (compared to instruments), then how can I be assured that the historical proxies are accurate?
If the instruments are not accurate in current decades (compared to proxies), then how can I be assured that instrumental data is accurate?
It appears that there is a lot of work being done to eliminate this divergence, but it appears to be mathematical in nature. Is anyone working on refining the experimental parameters in the determination of temperature via proxy analysis?
