GEOLOGY includes three papers about Mars: continuation of the “jelly sandwich” versus “crème brûlée” debate; support for the Snowball Earth hypothesis; what nine-million-year-old tooth enamel says about vegetation in an ancient sub-Himalayan ecosystem; anthropogenic lead in the Tyrrhenian Sea; evidence for a prehistoric South Pacific tsunami; a multicentennial megadrought in medieval Europe; and a newly discovered fossil turtle in the Canadian Arctic.

I wonder if something like that could have happened during the multicentennial MWP?
-
This fact, and the method of standardization used here to remove non-climatic trends that are of equivalent length or longer than the series in question, mean that the calibrated reconstruction will not represent multicentennial or longer variations in temperature, despite the total length of chronology
