1650, not the start of the Little Ice Age, but the start of the coldest years midway through, i.e., the First Climatic Minimum [clarification needed] The Little Ice Age ended in the latter half of the 19th century or in the early 20th century. [21] [22] [23] The 6th report of the IPCC describes the coldest period in the last millennium as: [24]
The Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA) was a long-lasting Northern Hemispheric cooling period in the 6th and 7th centuries AD, during the period known as Late Antiquity. The period coincides with three large volcanic eruptions in 535/536, 539/540 and 547.
As Europe moved out of the Medieval Warm Period and into the Little Ice Age, a decrease in temperature and a great number of devastating floods disrupted harvests and caused mass famine. The cold and the rain proved to be particularly disastrous from 1315 to 1317 in which poor weather interrupted the maturation of many grains and beans, and ...
The Earth had already been in a centuries-long period of cooling that began in the 14th century. Known today as the Little Ice Age, it had already caused considerable agricultural distress in Europe. The eruption of Tambora occurred near the end of the Little Ice Age, exacerbating the background global cooling of the period. [14]
Dickens grew up in the 1810s and 1820s in England, when the Little Ice Age still had a grip on Europe. The Little Ice Age, which lasted from about 1300 to 1850, was a global period of widespread ...
Great Famine of 1315–1317 in Europe; Little Ice Age: Various dates between 1250 and 1550 or later are held to mark the start of the Little ice age, ending at equally varied dates around 1850 1460–1550 Spörer Minimum cold; 1656–1715 Maunder Minimum low sunspot activity; 1790–1830 Dalton Minimum low sunspot activity, cold
There is evidence of still another volcanic eruption in 547 which would have extended the cool period. The volcanic eruptions caused crop failures, and were accompanied by the Plague of Justinian, famine, and millions of deaths and initiated the Late Antique Little Ice Age, which lasted from 536 to 560.

Europe in the 17th century was also in the grip of what’s known as the Little Ice Age, a period of cooling that in some places led to crop failure and famine.
