TPO 27 - The causes of the Little Ice Age
The lecture and the reading are both about possible causes of the Little Ice Age period. The author of the reading provides three reasons explaining this phenomenon. The lecturer challenged those three ideas because he believes they are out of date.
First of all, the writer blames the cooling on the disruption of ocean currents. It is said that melted glaciers release a large amount of fresh water into the Gulf Stream which strongly affects Earth´s climate due to unusually warm weather. However, the lecturer argues this theory by mentioning that this disruption only caused cooling in some areas of the Earth like Europe. Therefore it can not be used to explain the cause of the Little Ice Age.
Secondly, the reading attributes the cause to volcanic eruption. It is contended that emitted clouds of dust and sulfur gas blocked some sunlight thus making the decline of global temperature. In contrast, the lecturer disagrees with this argument. He states that if volcanic dust and gas had been the cause, some clear visual effects like colorful sunset or snow with unusual colors would have been identified. As a result, volcanic eruption is not the correct attribution.
Lastly, it is declared in the reading that substantial reductions of human population just before the Little Ice Age caused the cooling of the climate. Because of these declines, forests trees started growing in fields, consuming excessively carbon dioxide present in the air. Consequently, the temperature plunged. The lecturer, on the other, rebuts this hypothesis. He puts forth the idea that there had not enough time for the decrease of carbon dioxide to cause such cooling. This was because human population restored quickly and forests were cut down long before they could absorb too much carbon dioxide.
