Not according to Waldo

Climate:
Climate in a narrow sense is usually defined as the average weather, or more rigorously, as the statistical description in terms of the mean and variability of relevant quantities over a period of time ranging from months to thousands or millions of years. The classical period for averaging these variables is 30 years, as defined by the World Meteorological Organization. The relevant quantities are most often surface variables such as temperature, precipitation, and wind. Climate in a wider sense is the state, including a statistical description, of the climate system.​

And that's fair to use, so long as we're talking about average weather data.

But if you're going to start using data the has a global impact on economies, life styles, and so on.

You're going to have to do better, IMHO.

It is unlikely that the MWP was as warm as the last few years

as reputable reconstructions show; of course, it's a most inconvenient request to ask fake-skepics/deniers to legitimize whatever comparative warming relationship they presume to draw, in terms of warming causes, between the warming of the MWP versus the warming of today's relatively recent period.

over an appropriate period of time, what's better than... average weather data?

"death knell" news: US and China reach historic climate change deal, vow to cut emissions

In a historic climate change deal, U.S. President Barack Obama and Chinese President Xi Jinping announced both countries will curb their greenhouse gas emissions over the next two decades.

Under the agreement, the United States would cut its 2005 level of carbon emissions by 26-28% before the year 2025. China would peak its carbon emissions by 2030 and will also aim to get 20% of its energy from zero-carbon emission sources by the same year.
