Little Ice Age…Big Chill

    History 141 - 31136
Little Ice Age…Big Chill
The little ice age was a
  period in history that
  occurred between
  1550-1850AD when
  the worlds
  temperature was
  cooler than average.
  Three times within
  this period have been
  indentified as
  particularly cold. They
  are the years
  surrounding
  1650, 1770, and 1850.
Little Ice Age…Big Chill
Several causes have been explored to explain why this happened:

• Orbital Cycles

• Solar Activity

• Volcanic Activity

• Ocean Conveyor Slowdown

• Decreased Human Populations

• Inherent Variability of Climate
Little Ice Age…Big Chill
 Evidence for this period is found all over the world. North
Atlantic and Southern African sediments, tree ring data from
Patagonia, New Zealand glacier advances, Antarctic ice cores,
and historical sailing accounts from explorer Hans Steffen are
                           only a few.
Little Ice Age…Big Chill
The effects of the little ice age on human populations were drastic.
• Iceland lost half its population.
• Norse colonies in Greenland vanished.
• One fifth to one third of Estonia and Finland’s people were lost.
     In North America rivers
        froze and impeded
      George Washington's
       Continental Army in
          1777-1778 and
         hundreds died of
           hypothermia.

     The Little Ice Age effected the entire world population and
                  changed the course of world history.
