@MichaelEMann Given the uncertainty of the temperature proxies at our disposition, a claim as ‘the hottest July in 120.000 years’ is quite audacious. I’m aware this deals with the Weichsel/Wuerm ice age spanning from 115.000 to 11.700 BP; nonetheless, there were, as you undoubtedly know, several Dansgaard-Oeschger during the ice age; there was the Atlantic climate optimum straight before the 8k event. Can we, without any climate denial, seriously make a claim as the one above?
