module 10: what evidence do we have of climate change
... There was no accurate measurement of air temperature until the 17 th Century. To know what was happening before 1850, we have to rely on what things like tree rings, fossils, and the gases trapped in ice cores tell us about local temperatures. This information is much less precise, and much less glo ...
