Preferred term

Little Ice Age  

Definition

  • The Little Ice Age does not cover a clear and well-defined climatic regime and time-period upon which climate scientists agree. Glaciologists, to describe the most recent major glacial advance of the Holocene period, originally used the phrase. [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Warming & Climate Change; Little Ice Age]
