  <Summary>
    <Abstract>Records of past temperature, precipitation, and other climate variables derived from paleoclimate proxies.  Parameter keywords describe what was measured in this data set.  Additional summary information can be found in the abstracts of papers listed in the data set citations. 
          STUDY NOTES: Building on recent studies, we attempt hemispheric temperature 
reconstructions with proxy data networks for the past millennium. We focus 
not just on the reconstructions, but the uncertainties therein, and 
important caveats. Though expanded uncertainties prevent decisive 
conclusions for the period prior to AD 1400, our results suggest that the 
latter 20th century is anomalous in the context of at least the past 
millennium. The 1990s was the warmest decade, and 1998 the warmest year, 
at moderately high levels of confidence. The 20th century warming counters 
a millennial-scale cooling trend which is consistent with long-term 
astronomical forcing.
