PLIOMAX: the international effort to determine the Pliocene sea level highstand, has its landing page linked below. This is an example of an effort to explore climate "analogs" in order to determine key parameters of global change in the next few decades and centuries. An analog might be a geological era or event that offers a good guide to the planet's behavior under similar conditions of forcing and coupled circulation.
You may remember that Hansen et al 2016 depended heavily on the Eemian analog for sea level rise and the future of the WAIS. Analogs stand in some contrast and/or tension with models, both GCMs and Ice Sheet Models. This was carefully expressed in Hansen et al 2016.

The video we watched is here, and there are a couple other good ones below.
