None. It goes against my common sense. That is why I am asking what accuracy can this method give. I am asking that to people who are already seemingly convinced that the methods listed (fossil records, ice-cores) can be accurate..

Common sense?!? That applies to things you're experiencing on a daily basis. That you're intimately familiar with.

Not to things occurring when your great-great-great-great... (repeat a couple 1000x) ...great-great-great-grandparents were around.

Maybe you'd be so kind & at least check part of a Wikipedia article?

10min to go from clueless to "I've read something about how this knowledge came about".
