Most climate scientists agree that the late 17th century was the Little Ice Age, but there is some disagreement on the exact beginning and end.

The Little Ice Age caused decreased winter temperatures, resulting in sea ice, glacier advances, and crop failures. Discover what caused this abrupt change in climate.

Proxy studies and anecdotal evidence must be used to reconstruct past climates and provide evidence for the Little Ice Age.

From Rome to London, people believed that the Apocalypse had come. It was 1348 and Europe was being devastated by the worst plague in known history: the Black Death.

Climate changes occur as part of the Earth's normal climate cycle, in a slow transitional method. Abrupt climate change has happened in the past due to various effects.

Scientists have evidence that the Little Ice Age resulted from changes in the Sun's energy output associated with long term sunspot and other solar activity cycles.

Long cycles in sunspots and other solar activity may have affected the Sun's energy output and Earth's climate.

Many stars are variable stars that change brightness. Any possible solar variations must be very small, but does the Sun's energy output vary?

Faculae are bright regions on the Sun's photosphere affecting solar energy output. Changes in the number of faculae and sunspots may play a role in global climate change.

Several times over the last 500 years low sunspots numbers have coincided with much cooler global temperatures. Is there a connection or is it coincidence?

The Fourteenth Century in Europe is marked by widespread destruction and death, caused by a series of calamities that transitioned society into the early modern period.
