he reading and the lecture discuss the causes of the Ice age which was a period when the temperature was really low in some parts of the world. The author proposes three likely causes for this occurrence. The professor brings into question the claims made in the lecture. He considers that the causes pointed by the author are out-of-date and non of then can account for explaining the Ice age.
First, the author comes up with the idea that the ice age was the result of the disruption of the ocean current. It is mentioned that there was a warm period before the Ice time in which the glaciers melted and the water went down into the Gulf stream-a current which affected the earth’s climate. However, the professor argues that the Gulf stream just affects Europe, North America, some southern parts’ atmosphere, so it could not affect that much in all the world’s climate.
Second, the author states that volcanic eruption caused the ice period because the dark sulfur clouds in the atmosphere could stop sunlight to reach the earth surface, provoking less temperature. The professor rebuts this argument by pointing out that the dust released by volcanic eruption could not be enough to cause such a change in temperature.
Finally, the author contends that the decline of the human population could cause to more trees grow that, as a result, provoked that the greenhouse –earth’s heat keeper- decreased as well. The professor, on the other hand, posits that a change in population could not affect the earth climate in such an amount because it was really quick, and the trees needed to be cut out, as well, for the people who remained.
