FYI, I got the reference by googling for it.
If a website wants to reference something and showcase it, they'll pop up under the circumstances.

"To begin with, in a previous reply you state: “Your reading comprehension is pretty poor, I must say.” ..

A frustrated comment about you saying these papers dispute LIA, ie, "neither supports the idea that global temperatures were warmer during the MWP or cooler during the LIA."

Whereas the paper itself was saying: "The most recent of these events was the Little Ice Age, which occurred between 1300 to 1850 A.D., when subtropical SSTs were reduced by 3 to 4 C. "

But let's not quibble...

"I am curious why you feel a need to insult anyone who disagrees with you? Do you do this always or is this a special occasion?"

You're a special guy. What can I say.

In fact, I would like to quibble about it. The paper says that there is a change in temperature during the LIA. However it is quite clear that this reduction of temperature is due to a change in ocean currents (as discussed above). Thus it can not be used to support the idea of a global LIA.

You're a special guy. What can I say. "

Thanks, I'll accept that as a compliment. I know it is not, but it is probably the closest I will get arguing the science of global warming on this site ;)
