It Was Warmer Back Then

The Medieval Warm Period – A global Phenomenon

Stuff from my notes:

• CO2 Science’s Medieval Warm Period Project – Our Medieval Warm Period Project is an ongoing effort to document the magnitude and spatial and temporal extent of a significant period of warmth that occurred approximately one thousand years ago. Home
• Yes, it was warmer back then
• A graph
• Storm data from NZ
• Late Holocene sea-surface temperature and precipitation variability in northern Patagonia, Chile – Chilean paper, shows MWP
• Little Ice and and the Year Without a Summer (2003)
• It was witches that done it (serious paper) – This paper explores the possibility that the witchcraft trials are a large-scale example of violence and scapegoating prompted by a deterioration in economic conditions. In this case, the downturn was brought on by a decrease in temperature and resulting food shortages. The most active period of the witchcraft trials coincides with a period of lower than average temperature known to climatologists as the “little ice age.”
