Which temperatures? Which data?
The temperatures, just don't seem to match the data.
Have you heard of the Milankovitch cycles? Do you know what they are? Do you think that glaciation events happen very suddenly?
If core samples are to believed, we seem to be at the cusp of dropping into full Glaciation.
How fast? Tens of years? Hundreds?
The ice core samples seem to suggest that it happens fast.
Not really. No. But the Milankovitch cycles do seem to correlate quite well. And the theory for the mechanism is quite strong, as well as having evidence to support it.
The isotopes formed by the solar activity, gained therefrom. Seem to match the temperature gains and declines.

I can't. But you could read the paper I linked. I know, it's hard. But give it a try.

I did explain it in simple terms.
What I cannot do is say "for certain" what caused the little ice age.
