Scientists aren’t exactly sure, though it was likely at least partially due to a reduction in solar radiation reaching the Earth possibly through an extended sun spot minimum. The Little Ice Age was centered across the North Atlantic and surrounding land areas, which is why some people assume it was global (because most of our records are from that area). For different reasons having to do with the nature of the climate system, a global climate forcing can be amplified in this region.
