much older data isn't that importand since the world itself look quite different the (continental drift). For example the gulf stream didn't existed back then so data from that time will provide no information about the behaviour of the stream.
And as I pointed out current data indicates that the heat is going up, an effect that seems to be new.
Should we take the risk and act like it is all going away if we don't look? Or should we, for example, try to reduce CO2, a gas of which we know it raises the temperature.
