Great video debunking a common self-deception by climate deniers. (Note, the narrator is a wee bit snarky and condescending).

skeptv:

Medieval Warm Period — fact vs. fiction

This video looks at the scientific research to answer three basic questions: 1) Was the Medieval Warm Period global? 2) Was it warmer than today? 3) And what does this all mean anyway? I examine the internet feud over the hockey stick and the various myths and misinterpretations about the Medieval Warm Period that seem to be rife on the Internet. My sources for the myths are blogs and videos; my sources for the facts are scientific papers.

Full citations available.
