The text of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Greenland#The_demise_of_the_Greenland_Norse_settlements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Greenland#The_demise... implies that the Little Ice Age is taken to have started earlier in Greenland, although this is contradicted by the graph next to it.
- scarmig 15y agoThere's actually some level of debate about whether the Little Ice Age even existed as a global event, as opposed to several coincidental regional climatic changes. So it's a bit messy (and if it didn't actually exist globally, it would suggest that the article is explaining something that never happened). I'm not sure of whether there's any scientific consensus on it, however. NASA does suggest the Little Ice Age started in 1550, though.
