The Little Ice Age, by the anthropologist Brian Fagan of the University of California at Santa Barbara, describes the plight of European peasants from 1300 to 1850: famines, hypothermia, bread riots and the rise of despotic leaders brutalizing an increasingly dispirited peasantry.
19 wrz 2022 · During the Little Ice Age, volcanic activity blocked solar radiation from reaching the Earth, which, combined with naturally reduced solar activity, the build-up of solar-reflecting ice (the albedo effect), and other potential factors, all conspired to cool the northern hemisphere.
13 lip 2015 · A mini ice age could hit the Earth in the 2030s, the first such event to occur since the early 1700s. New mathematical models of the Sun's solar cycle developed at Northumbria University...
13 lut 2020 · During a grand minimum, solar magnetism diminishes, sunspots appear infrequently and less ultraviolet radiation reaches Earth. The largest recent event -- the “Maunder Minimum,” which lasted from 1645 and 1715 — overlapped with the “Little Ice Age” (13 th to mid-19 th century).
15 lip 2015 · Earlier this week, we wrote about a presentation given by mathematics professor Valentina Zharkova from Northumbria University in the UK at the annual National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, in which she compared three solar cycles 15 years in the future to the Maunder Minimum - a 'mini ice age' that plunged the northern hemisphere into a series ...
Little Ice Age (LIA), climate interval that occurred from the early 14th century through the mid-19th century, when mountain glaciers expanded at several locations, including the European Alps, New Zealand, Alaska, and the southern Andes, and mean annual temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere.
The issue centers around the paradox that global warming could instigate a new Little Ice Age in the northern hemisphere. Evidence for abrupt climate change is readily apparent in ice cores taken from Greenland and Antarctica.
