There are echoes of this past however, and it was interesting when we included the George Bellows painting of ice floes in the Hudson River on the top floor, because that piece harkens a little bit to aspects of late 19th - century art and the age of American Impressionism, with artists like Childe Hassam and William Merritt Chase.
With respect to # 27, it is worth noting that in fact there is a serious question as to whether the «Little Ice Age» was a global event, or was largely restricted to Europe.
It seems clear to me that that mountain glaciers and permafrost are: 1 sensitive indicators of changes in temperature; 2 uncontaminated by urban heat islands; 3 have short response times (no problem with lagged response to Little Ice Age cooling); have wide geographical coverage (especially in remote areas).
It is a fact of life for attribution studies that the climate changes associated with the end of the Little Ice Age overlap with the beginning of the era of industrial warming.
The fall from the Medieval Warm period into the Little Ice Age had nothing to do with additional CO2.
The most recent of these cooling events was the Little Ice Age between 1500 - 1850 AD when European rivers and ports were choked with ice, and glaciers overran alpine villages.&raqIce Age between 1500 - 1850 AD when European rivers and ports were choked with ice, and glaciers overran alpine villages.&raqice, and glaciers overran alpine villages.»
The Swedes went over the ices and took the Danes from behind with horses and men and heavy guns in the little ice age.
I know this is complicated by lack of precision of earlier measurements, and the Little Ice Age coinciding with pre-industrial times.
As with the «Little Ice Age» (LIA), no well - defined precise date range exists.
Titus is commenting, and presumably reading, here since years and must have seen hundreds of blog posts, commentaries and links elaborating on the «little ice age» and that contemporary temperature rise has nothing to do with some «recovery» from the little ice age.
Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measurements).
The last time this happened was 400 years ago — and it signaled a solar event known as a «Maunder Minimum,» along with the start of what we now call the «Little Ice Age.»
In our new take on the song, David added whale - ish notes on his bass clarinet along with samples of the crackle and shoosh of floating sea ice and we added two new verses taking the story from the ice - locked end of the little ice age to this era of warming, melting and opening seaways.
I took a stab at reducing the IPCC 2013 report conclusions on ice ages down to something that any general audience should have little trouble with (I hope).
> Some of the «wiggles» in temperature (such as the Little Ice Age signal) correlate with changes in solar output.
Indeed, the bizarre resulting claim by MM of anomalous 15th century warmth (which falls within the heart of the «Little Ice Age») is at odds with not only the MBH98 reconstruction, but, in fact the roughly dozen other estimates now published that agree with MBH98 within estimated uncertainties.
How the above pieces address Judge's questions I get the feeling that the Judge has some misconceptions about things from the way some of the questions are phrased, particularly the question about atmospheric CO2 having reflective properties, and the «little ice age» being lumped together with other ice ages.
The coldest years of the so called «Little Ice age» occur around 1600 and are about -0.7 colder than average, with individual years down to -1.2 ºC.
For example a low point in the solar sunspot cycle correlates approximately with the so called little ice age of the 19th century, but was only part of the cause of this.
Cochelin et al used a model of intermediate complexity to show that the orbital variations over the next 100,000 years are weak enough that even a little human CO2 remaining in the atmosphere is enough to keep the earth out of an ice age («Simulation of long - term future climate changes with the green McGill paleoclimate model: The next glacial inception»).
The Little Ice Age that began in the 14th century reduced the temperature of at least the northern hemisphere by about one degree centigrade in a couple of hundred years, and CO-2 emissions had nothing to do with it.
`... the reduced (sunspot) activity coincided with lower temperatures in what is known as the Little Ice Age.»
The little ice age is described as a time not of radically colder temperatures than today, but periodic, large climate swings and storms, contrasting with the stability of medieval times.
[14] Although there is an extreme scarcity of data from Australia (for both the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age) evidence from wave built shingle terraces for a permanently full Lake Eyre during the ninth and tenth centuries is consistent with this La Niña - like configuration, though of itself inadequate to show how lake levels varied from year to year or what climatic conditions elsewhere in Australia were like.
From the middle of the 17th century to the early 18th, a period known as the Maunder Minimum, sunspots were extremely rare, and the reduced activity coincided with lower temperatures in what is known as the Little Ice Age.
On another subject, now that we know from Al Gore's researches, that our SUVs, which keep raising the CO2 levels at Mauna Loa, are the direct cause of the Mediaeval Warm Period (remember that was just 800 years before the present rising CO2 event); we can predict with near certainty, that when everybody who signed on to the Kyoto accords, meets their obligations, resulting in a coming dearth of atmospheric CO2, that is going to directly cause an event which will become known as the little ice age which happened in the 1600 to 1840 time range.
The argument really ought to be phrased as «What caused the Little Ice Age cold period to be coincident with the Maunder Minimum / Dalton Minimum if anything?»
As I have little faith in nature producing stright lines: — RRB -, what are the chances that what we are seeing is the result of the leading edge of a half cycle of some long period waveform with a low point around the Little Ice Age and the high point being aboulittle faith in nature producing stright lines: — RRB -, what are the chances that what we are seeing is the result of the leading edge of a half cycle of some long period waveform with a low point around the Little Ice Age and the high point being abouLittle Ice Age and the high point being about now?
