showed.
He can't know what he is talking about, or being disingenuous, there are countless studies
showing the MWP was global and warmer than present and the
Holocene Maximum even warmer than the following highs such as the Roman Warm and MWP, that's why it was called the maximum, and the extent of past tree lines
show this clearly.
The discussion I had recently about this had been irritating, so many examples in my research which
showed the faked Hockey Stick cause was alive and well and now not just eliminating the warmer periods like the MWP and Roman, but taking it even further back and ludicrously even positing that temps now were rising higher than at any time in the
Holocene, but the 6/7, 000 year had been a first step to this, eliminating the
Holocene Maximum by clever sleights of hand and word play.

All he can really say is what he has, that in his area of glaciers the temps were higher during the early
Holocene by the fossil remains of trees which subsequent cooling killed off, but he has not
shown that temps were subsequently never warmer until present — these fossil remains could well have been uncovered during such times as the lesser warming of the MWP but conditions there not conducive to re-establishment of trees before the next cooling period arrived.
