It\u2019s quite a powerful study because of its wide geographical coverage, unlike other studies that focus on one particular proxy in one location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the key graph. It\u2019s measured in SDs, but illustrates how temperatures plunged around 3000 years ago, and notably since the Middle Ages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Figure 2 also shows the area of the Greenland ice sheet, which reached post ice age minimum about 4000 years ago, and was at a maximum at the end of the Little Ice Age:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
