"The Great Warming" by Brian Fagen
He agrees with me: distribution of rainfall is the bugaboo. He says without a doubt the planet is warming from human activity. I've finished the book: a summary of findings showing various local climate changes between 900-1300. What was remarkable was that more proxy records (tree rings, ice and sediment cores) show really bad droughts happening in semiarid areas with nearly no areas getting increased rainfall. Where is all the water vapor condensing and falling if more is evaporating from the oceans (warmer planet more water evaporating, right?)? By the way, the author teaches at UCSB.
