Modeling Top-of-the-Atmosphere Cloud Radiative Effects: How do state-of-the-art climate model results compare with real-world observations?

Subject Index Summary
Medieval Warm Period (Australia and New Zealand): Although much fewer and further between than in earth's Northern Hemisphere, reports of the Medieval Warm Period in the Australia/New Zealand part of the world tell pretty much the same story, which is that there is nothing unusual, unnatural or unprecedented about the planet's current degree of warmth, and that there is good reason to believe that what little warming has occurred over the past century or so was not produced by the greenhouse effect of anthropogenic CO2 emissions.
