Guest post on Climate Science

Today I came across a readable commentary by Professor Syun-Ichi Akasofu on Dr. Pielke Sr. 's blog, Climate Science

. He presents an excerpt of his article

The continuing recovery from the Little Ice Age

(Complete article, pdf format, approx 4.9 MB).

is Professor Akasofu the question of whether we are still in a phase in which the climate of the low temperatures of the

Little Ice Age

, measured by a multi-Centennial, global warming, largely independent of human impacts, consolidated or not. AGWler would deny this, affirm climate realists rather.

of interest to me is that Professor Akasofu in his discussion of the last millennium from a MWP starts, although he is the temperature rise in comparison to the last 10,000 years ( "Both the Medieval Warm Period and the LIA were Relatively minor fluctuations during the last 10,000 years"). From his detailed article then goes I think it clear that he sees this MWP well as a global phenomenon. But read for yourself on Page 1211:

There is little doubt that the Earth experienced a period Relatively cool Medieval Warm Period after the year around the 1000th In this section, we briefly review changes of temperature from about 1000 to the present before examining details of recovery from the LIA.
