Definition of little ice age in English: little ice agenoun A period of colder climate and increased glaciation occurring between warmer periods, in particular one such period which reached its peak during the 17th century. Example sentencesExamples - If it were to slow significantly or stop (which appears to have happened in the past), Europe could very quickly plummet into a little ice age.

- Perhaps it is part of a counter swing to the little ice age.
- For example, the Gangotri glacier between Kashmir and Nepal is retreating at an accelerated rate that cannot be accounted for by lingering effects from warming after the little ice age over 200 years ago.
- Although the cycle of the seasons had its role, each season varied from year to year and over long periods of time climatic variations had resulted in the warm summers of the early 13th century and the little ice age of the 17th century.
- Sodium levels in both the Greenland and the Antarctic ice sheets show that there was a marked increase in storminess around 1400 AD, a time when there was a short period of intense cold that has been nicknamed ‘the little ice age.’
- During the little ice age, solar activity was known to be lower than it is now.
- The earth has gradually been warming since the little ice age, again with a few peaks and dips in temperature.
- Temperatures were higher in medieval times than they are now, and the twentieth century represented a recovery from the little ice age to something like normal.

- This theory, known as the Milankovitch model, is now widely accepted as a good explanation of the ice-age cycle, although it does not explain what may trigger an ice age, or cause the mini-cycles of optima and little ice ages.
- Two centuries ago, much of the Northern Hemisphere was emerging from a little ice age.
- Many paleoclimatologists have been suspicious of this graph as it contradicted long established theories of a medieval warm period and a little ice age during that time.
