  4. Different Methods: Scientists used different ways to gather data over time.
  5. Natural Events: Major events like volcanoes can change climate data.

Some problems with old climate data are that tools back then weren't very accurate. Sometimes, records were lost or not kept. Also, weather stations moved, making it hard to compare data over time.
