If you knew they used proxy measures then why didn't you simply explain that to the OP rather than pretend you didn't understand? However, I am glad you asked because it caused me to investigate and learn something new.

Nice catch! It doesn't... the ice core measurements do show that it was waaay lower 800,000 yrs ago at 185ppm. To go beyond that they use other methods that are less accurate, but still good enough to at least get in the ballpark. Its

you're right.. I should have typed "evolution via natural selection".
