Both the author of the reading and the lecturer discuss the possible causes of the Little Ice Age. The author gives three reasons of support whereas the professor thinks that they are out of date because scientists, now, have more information about this topic.
First off, the reading claims that one of the reasons for the Little Ice Age is Gulf Stream. He states that melted ice caused Gulf Stream to get cold resulting in the Little Ice Age. The lecturer, however, points out that Gulf Stream caused the Little Ice Age only in Europe and America but there were also the Little Ice Age in Northern countries like New Zealand. Thus, the Gulf Stream cannot explain the actual cause.
The passage also contends that volcanic eruptions were another causes of the Little Ice Age since gases released from volcanoes covered the great area in the sky and prevented sunlight from reaching to the Earth surface that resulted in a decrease in global temperature. The speaker, on the other hand, rejects this point by explaining that if the gases covered such a large area, it would be noticed and reported by people. Therefore, volcanoes cannot be strong enough reasons for the Little Ice Age.
Lastly, the article states that a decrease in the human population might cause the Little Ice Age indirectly. He says that since people did not cut trees that absorb CO2, which causes global warming, global temperature decreased. The professor refutes this by explaining that there would be not enough time to occur this effect because people were soon going to probably cut trees down for crops or cultivation.
