Other factors also contribute to smoothing the proxy
temperature signals contained in many of the records we used, such as organisms burrowing through deep - sea mud, and chronological uncertainties in the proxy records that tend to smooth the signals when compositing them into a
globally averaged
reconstruction.
«Our regional
temperature reconstructions also show little evidence for
globally synchronized multi-decadal shifts that would mark well - defined worldwide MWP and LIA intervals.
Their two main results are a confirmation that current global surface
temperatures are hotter than at any time in the past 1,400 years (the general «hockey stick» shape, as shown in Figure 1), and that while the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) are clearly visible events in their
reconstruction, they were not
globally synchronized events.
