Yeah ... pretty damn amazing that the one I click didn't support your claim, it doesn't refute your claim either ... no, I haven't read any others ...
Finding a warm wet period between 100 and 1200 does support my claim. There are multiple colored balloons on that map...the red ones take you to studies that found that the MWP was warmer than the present...if you want to find studies that found that it was cooler, then click on the blue ones...although there aren't nearly as many.
If you're familiar with the ice core data, then you can see temperatures go up and back down over a 125,000 year period ... there's a lot of speculation why this is so, but no one knows for sure ... there's far more about the climate we don't know than we do ... research continues ...
I am familiar with the data...I would question your familiarity with it however...The GISP2 data for example, is considered a gold standard for temperature reconstructions over the past 10,000 years. It shows temperature changes with a resolution of between 100 and 200 years.
And shows that multiple times where the amount of, and rate of change happened far more quickly than the meager change we have seen in the past 150 years...and it shows that the present is considerably cooler than most of the past 10K years.

The Vostok ice core data for the past 10,000 years are also considered to be gold standard reconstructions. That data also has a resolution of less than 200 years....They show similar temperature spikes over the past 10K years. And they show that the present is cooler than it has been for much of the past 10,000 years.
