1,200 Papers Affirm Medieval Warm Period Was Global

More than 1,200 publications show the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was global – an embarrassment to global warming alarmists who claimed it was regional.
Global-warming-alarmist scientists like claiming that the well-documented Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was mostly a regional, North Atlantic phenomenon, and was not global, and so we should just move along and stop questioning man-made global warming.
For example, the online Britannica entry on the Medieval Warm Period written by John P. Rafferty writes that it occurred “predominantly in the Northern Hemisphere from Greenland eastward through Europeand parts of Asia.”
Britannica does state that the claim of a global extent is highly controversial, though it really isn’t as we are about to see.
More than 1,200 papers evidence it was global
Indeed the claim that it was global is now backed up by a huge body of scientific studies meticulously compiled by Dr. Sebastian Lüning of Die kalte Sonne and presented at Google Maps here.

The outstanding site presents more than 1,200 publications that evidence that the MWP was global.

So far, the site is proving to be a valuable resource as it has been accessed over 125,000 times. Not bad for a project that was financed entirely on a shoestring by small, private donations.
Natural forces at work
When asked about the reaction to this resource, Dr. Lüning replied:
We run this study fully open-minded and without any result that we try to prove. We screen through all available data and then simply let the data talk.
We begin to see a connection of the Medieval Climate Anomaly to the long-term changes of the ocean cycles, such as AMO and NAO.
The same patterns that are known from the last 100 years (multidecadal) seem to operate on a multi-centennial time frame.
Most ocean cycles were really just discovered in the 1990s and it is only now that we integrate them into the longterm pre-industrial climate changes as well.
By better understanding natural pre-industrial climate change, we may help answer a key question for modern climate change, related to attribution:
How much of the warming of the last 150 years is anthropogenic, and how much is natural? This attribution question is certainly not trivial:

Taken as a whole, for the alarmists the 1200+ papers are an extremely inconvenient body of facts and knowledge, so don’t be surprised if efforts are made to make them disappear from the Google platform in the future.
