This used to be in the article on the Altithermal, or Holocene climactic Optimum
It was removed by William Connolly, who is notable for removing not only a lot of information, but banning users who argued against his rampant censorship of information.
He lost his high status there for doing that. But of course he is still deleting information almost every day. One of the many self proclaimed experts who wants to control what you can read on Wikipedia.
He was banned from editing Climate Topics, 15 years ago. While the entire story can't be found on Wikipedia, some of it managed to get through on the article about him. A lot of it was removed during a very long edit war, which is ironic, since he was the source of so many edit wars.
The same paper noted a 2009 Wikipedia arbitration in which it was concluded that Connolley had used administrator privileges to his own advantage in content disputes,[28][circular reference] and these privileges were removed.[27] Other academic papers have discussed Connolley's editing activities on Wikipedia and the dispute resolution process as it has been applied to him.[29]
And of course he is back to deleting information on climate topics again.
