The reading passage states three potential causes of the Little Ice Age, whereas the professor points out that the information in reading is out of date and scientists now do not think they are account for the Little Ice Age.
Firstly, the author insists that before the climate event there was a short period of warm weather and during that time the glaciers melted, which send abysmal freshwater into the Gulf Stream, therefore, the disruption of the ocean currents lead to the temperature decrease. The professor, however, argues that the Gulf Stream only affect Europe and America while the cooling of climate also happened in other regions such as, New Zealand. As a result, the disruption of ocean currents cannot cause the Little Ice Age.
Secondly, the reading says that the temperature decline may attribute to the volcanic eruptions which would release dusk and gas that block the sun light. In contrast, the speaker reckons that indeed the eruptions can lead to the Little Ice Age. Nevertheless, if there was signifiant volcanic eruptions, individuals in other places would see some extraordinary phenomenon such as , colorful sunset or snow in brown. Since there were not records for that, the eruptions should not be strong enough to cause the climate change.
Lastly, the reading states that thanks to the decrease of human population in that period lead to the forest trees thrived, which absorbed a large amount of greenhouse gas, is responsible for the climate change. On the contrary, the lecture deems that the time was not long enough to cause the change. Because the human population grew back quickly and they needed more land to feed increasing people. In this way, the trees' number declined and cannot account for the Little Ice Age.
