Best guess is that the Earth's orbit and tilt relative to the sun changed because of a cyclic pattern called a Milankovitch cycle. If you meant the Little Ice Age, that would be solar output.
What caused the extreme heat of the early history of earth to cool down -- Indian subcontinent slammed into Asia producing the Himalayas, which conduct surplus heat into space.
