Thanks decimon! The medieval "Little Ice Age" also took hold quickly.

So now we have three sizes of ice ages?

There are Little Ice Ages, like those of the Dark Age and the late Medieval period, which bring great illnesses and crop failures. There are mini Ice Ages, like the Later Dryas, which cause cataclysmic regional population collapses. Lastly full scale Ice Ages, which bring cataclysmic climate change on a global level.

Has much been done to quantify these distinctions?

What's the average life span of modern day Cassandras and Jeremiahs?

Is there any chance we'll out live them?
