There is a good proxy for the past 10,000 years.
But I fear you have fallen into the fallacy of
reductionism. Instead, concentrate on longer
time scales. A good beginning is W.F.Ruddiman's
"Earth's Climate: Past and Future" with its fine
and simple exposition of relevant time scales;
decadal. centennial and millennial.
Then use some linear system theory to consider
the climate's response to the (approximately)
ramp function of additional forcing over the past
130+ years, a centennial scale.
