Summarise the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they case doubt on specific points made in the reading passage. what caused Little Ice Age.

The reading and Listening passages have a conflict of opinions about what caused Little Ice Age. In the reading passage, the writer explains three possible which have a role in this event. On the other hand, the lecturer points out that these opinions are not convincing and scholars find new information about it.

First of all, the author believes that before the Little Ice Age, the weather changed and became warmer so that glaciers melted and sent cold freshwater into Gulf Stream. Therefore, this disruption caused this event. In contrast, the professor casts doubt on this view by saying that the Gulf Stream could change the condition of Europe and North America but, the condition of other places like Nyasaland and Africa changed too. Thus, this opinion is wrong.

Second, the reading passage refers to other reason for this event. The writer indicates that the volcanic eruption played an important role because the dark dust and sulfur gas entered the atmosphere and they did not allow to the sunlight to reach Earth's surface and the weather became cold. By contrast, the speaker makes it clear that in that time the snow happened so that this opinion is not strong.

As a final point, in the reading, the author refers to the third opinion that forest trees grew in a lot of areas and they could absorb carbon dioxide. Therefore, they decreased a greenhouse gas and made the condition for cold weather. While, the speaker explains that the human population increased and the cut down these trees for fuel and food so this reason is not acceptable.
