A van Engelen and Nellestijn, JW, 1996, Monthly, seasonal and annual means of air temperature in tenths of centigrades in De Bilt, Netherlands, 1706-1995.
-
Insects or diatomes in lake sediments are definitely not reliable as indicators of (summer) temperatures. 55 years (1945-2000) statistics from Finland from 16 different waters show that 10 years mean temperature of water surface (1 meter) may suddenly (“chaotically”) jump up or down 1-2 centigrades in relation to air temperatures.

A van Engelen and Nellestijn, JW, 1996: Monthly, seasonal and annual means of air temperature in tenths of centigrades in De Bilt, Netherlands, 1706-1995.
-
Why not say that 450 million years ago atmospheric concentration of CO2 was 6000 ppmv and temperature was about 3 centigrades lower than now?
-
It does not fulfill the absolutely essential closed system criterion, partly because polar ice containes liquid water at temperatures even below -50 centigrades.
-
However: The mean temps of consequtive summers in the temperate regions may vary up to -+ 4 centigrades.
-
A longterm increase in mean temperature as predicted by models in the range of 1-3 centigrades will have some influence on vegetation zones but it will be very slow.

-
Using nearly 800 resident species it is possible to show that the mean of the population size reflect the summer mean temperatures within 0.1-0.01 centigrades resolution.
-
By changing to the powerful fuel oil, the last few hundred centigrades are easily reached.
