What is the consensus on
the Medieval Warm Period as well as on the Little Ice Age which do not show up in the Hockey Stick?
However, considered as an ensemble of individual expert opinions, the assemblage of local representations of climate establishes both the Little Ice Age and
Medieval Warm Period as climatic anomalies with worldwide imprints, extending earlier results by Bryson et al. (1963), Lamb (1965), and numerous intervening research efforts.
The graph showing
the Medieval Warm Period as shown in the graph above appeared in the IPCC's 1990 Assessment.
For this reason, the paper's authors refer to
the Medieval Warm Period as the more technical sounding «Medieval Climate Anomaly» (the MCA in Figure 1).
As for the IPCC's dismissal of
the Medieval Warm Period as a European phenomenon, the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change maintains a large and growing archive of studies indicating that the Medieval Warm Period was global and / or warmer than recent decades.
For example, if a proxy record indicated that a drier condition existed in one part of the world from 800 to 850, it would be counted as equal evidence for
a Medieval Warming Period as a different proxy record that showed wetter conditions in another part of the world from 1250 to 1300.

warming didn't look quite so frightening.»

In so far
as M&M are trying to distort the climate data over the last 1000 years to show that the so - called «

warming — and so natural variability could possibly account for that
warming — I thought it worthwhile to put out some information about
Medieval climate.
This is the linchpin: if the difference between pre-industrial and modern temperatures is not
as dramatic
as this analysis indicates — i.e. if modern GLOBAL temperatures are comparable to those of the

Using a large volume of 126 proxy temperature records from the Northern Hemisphere, they found (1) a clearly discernible
Medieval Warm Period (MWP)(950-1150) and Little Ice Age (LIA)(1450 - 1850), (2) «likely unprecedented» modern temperatures (relative to the last 1,000 years),
as well
as a (3) «significant» link between the high temperatures of the MWP and recent times and the high solar activity that characterized both
periods (the
Medieval Maximum and the Modern Grand Maximum).
