New Study: The Medieval Warm Period Was Hotter Than Today — And They Know It

Every year, new temperature records are breathlessly announced as though the planet is plunging into uncharted climate chaos. Mainstream headlines proclaim things like Humanity just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years or This year virtually certain’ to be warmest in 125,000 years, EU scientists say. We’re told, often without context or qualification, that the warming we’re experiencing is unlike anything seen in hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of years.

 
But is that really true? Or have climate authorities, especially the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), built their entire narrative on the selective memory of Earth’s climate past?

The most insidious and fraudulent aspect of modern climate science isn’t flawed models or uncertain predictions… it’s the deliberate erasure of past climatic states that undermine the prevailing narrative. The IPCC, ostensibly tasked with objective scientific assessment, has become a vehicle for confirmation bias, selectively omitting historical climate extremes to support alarmist conclusions. I’ve extensively documented this inherent bias, highlighting how it shapes and distorts their findings (Confirmation Bias within the IPCC).

Ignoring the Evidence: The IPCC’s Selective History

One such selective amnesia case is the historical megadroughts. These natural extremes far exceed modern droughts attributed to human-caused climate change, yet the IPCC habitually overlooks such critical historical data. A striking example is the Cantona megadrought in ancient Mexico, a devastating natural event entirely unconnected to anthropogenic factors. This severe drought, spanning centuries, dwarfs recent climate events but remains conspicuously absent from IPCC assessments (Forgotten Extremes: The Megadroughts the IPCC Ignores).

Similarly, the Medieval Warm Period (MWP)—a globally recognized warm epoch from roughly 950 to 1250 AD—poses an existential threat to the IPCC-endorsed narrative that modern warming is unprecedented. Initially documented extensively, the MWP was systematically erased from mainstream climate records following the infamous hockey stick graph popularized by Michael Mann in 1999. This graph significantly flattened historical temperature variability to emphasize recent warming, providing political ammunition for urgent climate action despite contradictory historical evidence (The Medieval Warm Period: A Global Phenomenon?).

This erasure isn’t accidental. The IPCC’s Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) minimizes the MWP, often describing it as a regional or modest climate fluctuation… not a globally significant phase. This vague framing allows them to avoid confronting the wide body of peer-reviewed evidence showing synchronized warming across both hemispheres, a conclusion that undermines the entire premise of modern warming being “unprecedented.”

New Antarctic Evidence Shatters the Narrative

And now… new research from Antarctica just changed the game.

recent study published in Nature has provided stunning new evidence that the Medieval Warm Period was not only real, but warmer than today… even in East Antarctica. The authors describe a warming pulse that occurred roughly 1,050 years ago, powerful enough to erode glaciers and carve channels deep into bedrock. These erosional signatures match what we’d expect from modern meltwater activity during periods of strong polar amplification. Only there’s a problem: this happened when CO₂ levels were stable around 280 ppm.

Even more damning is this line from the authors themselves:

“It is also noteworthy that under current climatic conditions, despite some of the effects of recent climate change that have been observed even in continental Antarctica, there is no evidence of meltwater on the BCG, and the surface of the glacier is permanently snow-covered.”

Let that sink in. The glacier is not melting today… but it did melt over a thousand years ago.

But the full story… the evidence… and the implications? That’s for subscribers.

Unlock the rest of this investigation, plus over 350 articles that challenge the climate orthodoxy with real science and historical context… the kind of information mainstream media refuses to cover… and the kind global elites want censored.

The Smoking Gun from Antarctica

The Nature study is just one of many pieces of evidence the IPCC has worked overtime to ignore, suppress, or discredit. What makes this one different is where it comes from: Antarctica. According to the IPCC’s own logic, warming at the poles… especially the southern pole… should be the most sensitive and therefore the most telling.

The study, titled A warming pulse in the Antarctic continent changed the landscape during the Middle Ages, reconstructed past glacial activity and showed that East Antarctica experienced a period of glacial retreat around 1050 years ago… smack in the middle of the MWP. This finding directly contradicts the long-held IPCC position that the MWP was neither global nor comparable in warmth to modern temperatures.

 

Intellectual Evasion by the IPCC

It gets worse for the alarmist narrative: this warming occurred while CO₂ levels remained stable around 280 ppm… well below the 420+ ppm we have today. If significant warming and glacial retreat can occur without any anthropogenic forcing, how can the IPCC maintain the illusion that CO₂ is the primary driver of global climate change?

When will the climate zealots give up? They are caught lying every time they make they predictions of doom they get caught cooking the books. Every. Damned. Time.

Just stop embarrassing yourselves.

The big problem is we have UN/CFR/Globalists the DNC and the rest of them trying to control our lives the real reason for the UN was founded

Climate interests, like obama’s Solyndra and joe’s recent green money pit, diverted attention from their greed by using idiots like Greta and Michael Mann.
Their “lawfare” preceded all of the dem lawfare we’re seeing nowadays.

Just stop it ,we are all going to die unless Gore and his ilk can fly around dining on gormet foods then sail back to their mega-mansions in their fuel sucking yachts filled with call girls. No pets. no personal gardens, no gas stoves .How dare you want to have the kids not living in constant fear.
So selfish, eat your cockroaches like a good little tax slave.
