So what exactly is the problem with using the data that's available today to reconstruct the past? I mean, that's basically the whole of archeology & paleontology, isn't it? Not to mention geology, parts of astronomy, &c.

Note that there is part of the graph where the reconstruction and observed data overlap, and they match fairly well. Are you suggesting that whoever did this research just made things up? Or are you just knee-jerking because it's telling you something you don't want to acknowledge?
