The Little Ice Age in Scientific Perspective: Cold Spells and Caveats (2014)

unapi

Contrary to the position taken by Kelly and Ó Gráda, a rich body of regional-to large-scale temperature reconstructions that span from the last millennium to almost the entire Holocene confirms the existence of several temperature depressions that occurred at different intensities and spatial ranges between c. 1350 and 1900, thus supporting the conception of a Little Ice Age. Nonetheless, the genuine uncertainties that continue to surround paleoclimatic study suggest that methodologies and findings are subject to further refinement.
