Little Ice age was caused by period of low solar activity. Maunder Minimum 1645-1715 (also the reign of Louis XIV of France the 'Sun King') The 60+ years of solar minimum had a great impact on the Earth, but, it was caused by the Sun putting out less energy. People who write this stuff forget that people can check behind them now. Like AlBore and the internet.
Looks like a lot of this story came from the Wikipedia. Very similar wording

Yes, Maunder Minimum was the key cause, and the european ego shows in the story. They just can't gut it, the COLONists they dumped into america 400 to 300 years ago are now the PREMIER country of the world while they have stagnated into a backwater. Now they are paying the price by being over run by muslims, where before it was rats carrying the plague...
