circumstantial evidence: The characterization of evidence as "direct" or "circumstantial" points to the kind of inference which is sought to be drawn from the evidence to the truth of the proposition for which it is offered. (If) the inference sought is merely from the fact that the witness made the statement, and the assumption that witnesses are worthy of belief, to the truth of the asserted fact, (t)his is direct evidence. When, however, the evidence is offered also for some further proposition based upon some inference to the truth of the fact asserted, then the evidence is circumstantial evidence of this further fact-to-be-inferred.

While the whole of the Holocene was a time of warmth relative to the previous 60-70,000 years, global climate was far from static during this period. Many warming and cooling episodes occurred on the 100-year timescale. Because these events are only observable through indirect or proxy evidence, which is both local and often poorly dated, we do not know how global mean climate changed.  1, record 2, English, - proxy%20evidence

L'indicateur permet d'obtenir, généralement par déduction, des données sur des phénomènes climatiques qui, dans la pratique, ne peuvent être, ou ne peuvent plus être, mesurés directement; les connaissances actuelles du phénomène de réchauffement climatique, les restitutions climatiques particulièrement, reposent en grande partie, à cause des lacunes importantes dans les données nécessaires pour une compréhension globale de ce phénomène, sur des mesures indirectes fournies par des indicateurs (par ex. les cernes de croissance des arbres fournissent des données indirectes sur la quantité de précipitations avant les premières observations par instrument.  1, record 2, French, - preuve%20indirecte
