Denialists love proxy reconstructions as long as they confirm their desired conclusions. Here are some proxy reconstructions plotted alongside the thermometer data that tell a story very inconsistent with denialist meme graphs. They always attempt to exaggerate past temperature variations to imply the modern warming is not abnormal, whether by using a local proxy to improperly represent the global mean, or just by pulling the graph straight from their asses.

Now note how entirely inconsistent this graph is with the other one. This graph has more data supporting it, but more importantly, proxy reconstructions have accuracy issues that prevent them from being as informative to understanding the modern warming as denialists want them to be.

This graph is fake and gay. The MWP, LIA, and HCO are all greatly exaggerated, and the modern warming is truncated or suppressed. Here's the real data.

now look at the following graph and see how it is entirely inconsistent with the exaggerated peak and valley of the MWP and LIA respectively in >>10701688 's graph, probably because that graph comes from denialists

data is from the papers listed on:

woops, looks like the MWP and LIA didn't disprove AGW after all
