In North America the Post-Roman-Carolingian Period was marked by warm temperatures in the northern parts, with mean
paleotemperatures in central Canada about 1 ° C above the present.

ABSTRACT A theory is described based on resonant thermal diffusion waves
in the sun that explains many details of the
paleotemperature record for the last 5.3 million years.
Our study did not directly address this question because the
paleotemperature records used
in our study have a temporal resolution of ~ 120 years on average, which precludes us from examining variations
in rates of change occurring within a century.
Taken together, Station S and
paleotemperatures suggest there was an acceleration of warming
in the 20th century, though this was not an explicit conclusion of the paper.

Now let's look at Keigwin's justly famous Sargasso Sea dO18 proxy temperature reconstruction: (1996) «The Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period
in the Sargasso Sea» Science 274, 1503 - 1508 This isn't meant as a general criticism, however, the reconstructed Sargasso Sea
paleotemperature rests on Globigerinoides ruber calcite.
That (+ / --RRB- 2.4 C is the minimal reportable methodological error
in any dO18 proxy
paleotemperature reconstruction, apart from invisible environmental confounding effects such as monsoon shifts.

Barring a dramatic breakthrough
in reconciliation of some long - standing differences
in the magnitude of
paleotemperature estimates for different proxies, the range of paleo - sensitivities will continue to have this uncertainty.
Although there is limited evidence of ice - rafted debris
in the Arctic from the Miocene and into the Eocene, suggesting some continental glaciation (Stickley et al., 2009; St. John and Krissek, 2002), empirical evidence suggests that widespread Northern Hemisphere glaciation did not occur until 2.75 Ma (Ravelo et al., 2004), which is substantiated by recent Pliocene
paleotemperature SST estimates near Svalbard between 10 and 18 °C (Robinson, 2009).
Refined
paleotemperature estimates from the annual growth rings and δ18O of cellulose
in fossil wood also showed considerably warmer TSTs
in the Arctic during the Pliocene, yielding a MAT of — 0.5 ± 1.9 °C and a ΔMAT of ∼ 19 °C (Table 1).
