Abstract
We present paleoclimate evidence for rapid (<100 years) shifts of ∼2–4 °C in Chesapeake Bay (CB) temperature ∼2100, 1600, 950, 650, 400 and 150 years before present (years BP) reconstructed from magnesium/calcium (Mg/Ca) paleothermometry. These include large temperature excursions during the Little Ice Age (∼1400–1900 AD) and the Medieval Warm Period (∼800–1300 AD) possibly related to changes in the strength of North Atlantic thermohaline circulation (THC). Evidence is presented for a long period of sustained regional and North Atlantic-wide warmth with low-amplitude temperature variability between ∼450 and 1000 AD. In addition to centennial-scale temperature shifts, the existence of numerous temperature maxima between 2200 and 250 years BP (average ∼70 years) suggests that multi-decadal processes typical of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) are an inherent feature of late Holocene climate. However, late 19th and 20th century temperature extremes in Chesapeake Bay associated with NAO climate variability exceeded those of the prior 2000 years, including the interval 450–1000 AD, by 2–3 °C, suggesting anomalous recent behavior of the climate system.

Abstract
Three lines of evidence for abrupt tropical climate change, both past and present, are presented. First, annually and decadally averaged δ18O and net mass-balance histories for the last 400 and 2,000 yr, respectively, demonstrate that the current warming at high elevations in the mid- to low latitudes is unprecedented for at least the last 2 millennia. Second, the continuing retreat of most mid- to low-latitude glaciers, many having persisted for thousands of years, signals a recent and abrupt change in the Earth’s climate system. Finally, rooted, soft-bodied wetland plants, now exposed along the margins as the Quelccaya ice cap (Peru) retreats, have been radiocarbon dated and, when coupled with other widespread proxy evidence, provide strong evidence for an abrupt mid-Holocene climate event that marked the transition from early Holocene (pre-5,000-yr-B.P.) conditions to cooler, late Holocene (post-5,000-yr-B.P.) conditions. This abrupt event, ≈5,200 yr ago, was widespread and spatially coherent through much of the tropics and was coincident with structural changes in several civilizations. These three lines of evidence argue that the present warming and associated glacier retreat are unprecedented in some areas for at least 5,200 yr. The ongoing global-scale, rapid retreat of mountain glaciers is not only contributing to global sea-level rise but also threatening freshwater supplies in many of the world’s most populous regions.

That piece was just gibberish that somebody posted on what is essentially a blog that will publish anything that anybody sends it.

It's very hard to fool honest people. That's why it's so easy to fool deniers.

 

[ScienceRocks]

Deniers are a group of jokes that deserve to be laughed at as idiots. This isn't science!

 

[skookerasbil]

nobody cares either way s0ns!!!

Now......maybe if the alarmists can come up with a Plan B, they can actually make their case and people will care. But this has been 25 years of fail.........

 

[skookerasbil]

Oh.....and it is pretty fucking funny.............

When I post up about how Long Island is exceedingly cool in the summer for some years now, the k00ks point to averages across far wider area's and dismiss any "anomalies"..

But when science is presented that is based upon data across wide area averages and it doesn't conform with the established narrative, they turn around and point to a specific area.


ghey


The world you people live in is 100% fake.........but give you credit for somehow actually being able to navigate in it. You either work in a cubicle or out in the middle of nowhere.

basquebromance The article in the OP is paywalled. Please find another source that is easier to quote and read.

Suggest you can use this for the abstract. Characteristics of temperature change in China over the last 2000 years and spatial patterns of dryness/wetness during cold and warm periods

Why? The MWP was warmer than the present day, and by quite a lot. Every day you experience a 25 degree swing in temps. Do you suddenly burst into flame? Your hyperbole is unfounded based on actual scientific fact, and the well known historical record.
