We’ve all heard about the Ice Age which happened about 2.5 million years ago, but did you know there was also a Little Ice Age, which took place just a few centuries ago? This phenomenal change in climate saw temperatures plummeting across the globe. Rivers and seas froze, people starved to death and glaciers destroyed entire towns as they expanded at a crazy rate. This list explores some of the most incredible facts about this unusual period in time.

Since the subject comes up here with some regularity.

Maunder Minimum was part of it. 1645 to 1715. Included the Big Freeze when 3 volcanoes erupted in Europe in 1709 and froze the top 40 inches of the fround in France sending food prices 600% higher.

Isn't that strange? What a variety of results -- including the Frankenstein franchise that's still giving kiddies bad dreams today.

"Volcanic forcing" -- a new one on me. wikid has mentions but no definition.

Dr Valentina Zharkova has said that during a Grand Solar Minimum that solar magnetism is reduced. This allows more cosmic rays (nuclear particles from distant stars) to strike the earth. These nuclear particles can cause more clouds, more rain, more snow and more hail. If these nuclear particles strike the earth, they can energize both volcanoes and earthquake fault zones. Expect more volcanoes, more earthquakes, cooler weather, more rain and higher food prices due to crop losses.
