If, indeed, the Medieval Climate Optimum, a period of above average temperatures from the year 800 to 1300, is real, that would mean that most, if not all, of the other methods used to estimate historic temperatures prior to the establishment of accurate temperature records (and those in contention as well) simply don't work--as these methods do not show a global rise in temperatures in this period.
The "consensus," and the credibility of those who have hitched their names to it, seems to be in deep, deep, trouble. Many thanks to the medieval scribes once again helping us moderns find a way out of our folly.
On a related note, if the world has indeed warmed a touch, that might help violinmakers of the future finally create instruments to rival those of Stradivari, who worked predominantly on woods grown during the Medieval period.
