warm as in the late 20th century.
In the Science Advances paper, Cook and his coauthors compare results from the new atlas and its counterparts across three time spans
during the generally
warm Medieval Climate
Anomaly (1000 - 1200), the Little Ice Age (1550 - 1750), and the modern
period (1850 - 2012).
A new paper Global Signatures and Dynamical Origins of the Little Ice Age and
Medieval Climate
Anomaly (Mann et al 2009)(see here for press release) addresses this question, focusing on regional temperature change
during the
Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age.

warm as in the late 20th century.
That conclusion is based not on climate models or recent trends in forest fires, but rather on records of forest fires that occurred more than a millennium ago,
during the
Medieval Climate
Anomaly, a
period when global temperatures were comparable to what they are today, and about half a degree
warmer (on the Celsius scale) than they had been for several centuries prior.
They and colleagues report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that
during the
Medieval Climate
Anomaly — the
warm period that brought monastery vineyards to Britain a thousand years ago — the dry conditions favoured what they call «peak biomass burning».
