One more example:
Eric the Red migrated to Greenland with his people and found wonderful green fields for his livestock to graze in. They were later forced to leave because the LIA covered the fields with ice and snow causing their livestock to die. The people were starving because they couldn't grow food and their livestock had nothing to eat.
What really irks the Chicken Littles is that we started coming out of the Little Ice Age before industrialization could be blamed for it. Also, since the trend started first, we really don't know how much, if any, impact human activity has had on it, (yeah, I can hear them wetting their pants in their eagerness to yet once post their charts). But their models are totally useless at predicting recorded trends, so its hard for honest people to get excited about them.
