Other than a handful of discredited tree-ring studies, the vast accumulation of scientific evidence indicates that modern warming has not been as great as that experienced during the Medieval Warming span.
Another peer-reviewed research study confirms the unprecedented warmth of the MWP from data collected at a lake on Baffin Island, Canada. (click on images to enlarge)
"Sediment cores collected from Donard Lake, Baffin Island, Canada were analyzed to produce a 1240-year record of average summer temperature for this region based on clastic varve thickness..... And in the words of Moore et al. who did the work, "the most prominent feature of the record is a period of elevated summer temperatures from AD 1200-1375," the peak 10-year mean value of which was approximately 0.9°C warmer than the peak 10-year mean value in the vicinity of 1960 (the highest of the last hundred years), 1.2°C warmer than the peak 10-year mean value in the vicinity of 1980, and fully 2.0°C warmer than the last 10-year value of the record, which was centered on approximately 1987."
