NEW STUDY REVEALS POTENTIAL CAUSES OF THE LITTLE ICE AGE (LIA), INCLUDING LOW SOLAR ACTIVITY, DISTURBANCES TO THE JET STREAM, VOLCANIC ACTIVITY, AND HIGH-VARIABILITY OF ARCTIC SEA ICE COVER

A new paper entitled Split Westerlies Over Europe In The Early Little Ice Age was published in Nature on Aug 20, 2022. The study, authored by 15 researchers, lead by Hsun-Ming Hu, delves into the true, sometimes seemingly contradictory causes of the LIA.
Below is my breakdown of the paper using only the scientists’ words–unless otherwise stated; and while I may not necessarily agree with all of the findings and conclusions, the study is most certainly intriguing and furthers the dialogue.
ABSTRACT
The Little Ice Age (LIA; ca. 1450–1850 C.E.) is the best documented cold period of the past millennium, characterized by high-frequency volcanism, low solar activity, and high variability of Arctic sea-ice cover.
