Medieval Climate Anomaly

Climate & environment · Reconstrucciones climáticas · Variabilidad regional · Holoceno

The term “Medieval Climate Anomaly” is often used for relatively warm conditions in some regions between about 950 and 1250. IPCC syntheses caution that its timing and signal were not spatially uniform; this entry therefore uses a comparative reconstruction label, not a homogeneous global warm period or a sufficient explanation for historical processes.
