He's an assistant professor of climate communication at George Mason University, and has coauthored several textbooks on climate change. https://communication.gmu.edu/people/jcook20

I'm not able to find any source describing the extent of Greenland's ice sheet during the medieval warm period. If you have one, you should post it. All I can find are temperature records which indicate greenland has been hotter than in the medieval warm period since the 1930s.

I have no idea what "assistant professor of climate communication" is supposed to mean, but it sounds like a journalism credential and not a scientific one. I'd wager it was granted in an honorary capacity on account of his website, not because of any scientific work.

I do find myself thinking though how would my intellectual heroes view that? What would Edsgar Dijkstra think of someone identifying as an "assistant professor of computing communication?" What would Richard Feynman think of someone identifying as an "assistant professor of physics communication?" While I can't be sure, abductive reasoning tells me their view would likely be dim to say the least.
