Revision as of 12:53, July 26, 2016

A cold period that lasted from about A.D. 1550 to about A.D. 1850. This was the coldest period in about 1,500 years. There are many records - both scientific and historic that substantiate this. This period was marked by rapid expansion of mountain glaciers, especially in the Alps, Norway, Ireland, and Alaska. There were three maxima, beginning about 1650, about 1770, and 1850, each separated by slight warming trend.[1]

  • During the Little Ice Age, the River Thames froze over, the Dutch improved the ice skate and the great artists of the day learned to love a new genre: the winter landscape.[2]

An attempt was made by the UN's global warming study panel to dismiss the existence of the Little Ice Age, using the notorious hockey stick graph of Dr. Michael Mann.

During the 1600s, the sun's activity declined to a point known as the Maunder minimum.
