Kreutz et al. (1997) compared results from studies of West Antarctic ice cores with the Greenland Ice Sheet Project Two [[GISP2]]; they suggested a synchronous global cooling.<ref name="Hreutz et al 1997">{{cite journal |last1=Kreutz |first1=K.

The [[Siple Dome]] (SD) had a climate event with an onset time that is coincident with that of the Little Ice Age in the North Atlantic, based on a correlation with the GISP2 record. The Little Ice Age is the most dramatic climate event in the SD Holocene glaciochemical record.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://nsidc.org/data/waiscores/findings/mayewski_findings.html |title=Siple Dome Glaciochemistry |access-date=4 October 2017}}</ref> The Siple Dome ice core also contained its highest rate of melt layers (up to 8%) between 1550 and 1700, most likely because of warm summers.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Das |first1=Sarah B. |last2=Alley |first2=Richard B. |title=Clues to changing WAIS Holocene summer temperatures from variations in melt-layer frequency in the Siple Dome ice core |url=http://igloo.gsfc.nasa.gov/wais/pastmeetings/abstracts00/Das.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061007075240/http://igloo.gsfc.nasa.gov/wais/pastmeetings/abstracts00/Das.htm |archive-date=7 October 2006}}</ref> [[Law Dome]] ice cores show lower levels of CO<sub>2</sub> mixing ratios from 1550 to 1800, which Etheridge and Steele believe to be "probably as a result of colder global climate".<ref name="D">{{cite web |last1=Etheridge |first1=D.
