From Wikipedia: The neoglaciation ("renewed glaciation") describes the documented cooling trend in the Earth's climate during the Holocene, following the retreat of the Wisconsin glaciation, the most recent glacial period. Neoglaciation has followed the Hypsithermal or Holocene Climatic Optimum, the warmest point in the Earth's climate during the current interglacialstage, excluding the global warming-induced temperature increase starting in the 20th century. The neoglaciation has no well-marked universal beginning, in particular not in the Greenland Icecore temperatures: local conditions and ecological inertia affected the onset of detectably cooler (and wetter) conditions.

4. Sharp climate oscillations: mid-Weichselian substage 14,000 - 13,000 yrs BP
3. Bolling "interstadial" -- warming to almost interglacial level, started c 14,700 yrs BP (some dates place this event around 12,500 yrs BP)
