The reading and the lecture are discussing the little ice age, which was a period of time of unusually cold temperature in the past. The reading provides three possible reasons for this period, but the lecture casts doubts on these reasons as follows.
Firstly, the author of the reading argues that disruption of the ocean currents is one possible reason. The lecturer, on other hand, refutes this claim by mentioning that if this hypothesis was true, it would affect only the north of America and Europe. He added that does not explain why other areas, like Africa, were affected.
Secondly, the article states that another possible reason is the volcanoes. The erupting of these volcanoes could have caused a large amount of gases and dust that blocked the sun light, which resulted in the cold temperature. The professor, on the other hand, rebuts this claim by elaborating that if it was the volcanoes'effect , it would cause striking and unusual phenomena, like the colorful ice and sun. We do not have any accounts that supports the existence of any unusual occurrence during this time.
Thirdly, the text contends that the reason could be the effect of the forest tress and human activity that eradicated this green plants . this would finally cause the earth climate to stay warmer. The professor, in contrast, rejects this claim. He says that it is unlikely to be the reason because even with cutting the trees, it starts growing quickly, which means that there is no enough time to cause the green house effect.
