The Little Ice Age (LIA) was a period of cooling occurring after a warmer era known as the Medieval climate optimum.

The period between 1645 and 1715, a time during which very few sunspots were observed, is a real feature, as opposed to an artifact due to missing data, and coincides with the Little Ice Age.

Is there a causal connection between the Maunder Minimum and the Little Ice Age or was it just a coincidence? How does the variability of the Sun affect the Earth's climate?
Little Ice Age
The Maunder Minimum coincided with the middle — and coldest part — of the so-called Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America, and perhaps much of the rest of the world, ...
For example, the Maunder minimum seems to correspond fairly well to the coldest years of the so-called Little Ice Age that chilled northern Europe during the late 1600s.
This period between 1645 and 1715 is known as the "Maunder Minimum," and it is sometimes referred to as the "Little Ice Age." During this period, rivers that were normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round in lower altitudes.
Earth did experience relatively warm conditions around the year 1000. That was followed by a so-called Little Ice Age from around 1500 to 1850.
Indeed, one such episode known as the Maunder minimum may have triggered the Little Ice Age from 1645 to 1715 CE, when crops failed in Northern Europe and London's Thames River stayed frozen in June. According to Sallie L.
This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the "Little Ice Age" when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes.
From 1645-1715 there were very few sunspots, even during the maxima. This is known as the Maunder Minimum, and represents a period of solar inactvity that resulted in the 'Little Ice Age' on Earth.
This period was associated with the long cold spell in Europe that extended from about 1550 to 1850 and is known as the Little Ice Age, although it is not proven that this cold period was actually caused by the Maunder minimum.

There were very few sunspots from 1645-1715, even during the maxima. This interval is called the “Maunder Minimum,' and represented a period of solar inactivity that probably caused the “Little Ice Age' on Earth.
data with a low frequency of aurorae and the reduced sizes of annual tree rings. This "Maunder Minimum" may have played a role in the unusually low temperatures in the northern hemisphere during this period, which is known as the Little Ice Age.
