TPO-27 - Integrated Writing Task The little ice age was a period of unusually cold temperature in many parts of the world that lasted from about the year 1350 until 1900CE. There were unusually harsh winters, and glaciers grew larger in many areas. Scient

In the given set of material, the author suggests three possible hypotheses that could be responsible for the Little Ice Age. However, the speaker in the follow-up material cast doubts on those theories by providing evidences.

First, the passage describes that the fresh cold water from melted glaciers went into Gulf Stream and disrupted it which caused this phenomenon. The speaker refutes this point and explains that the disruption took place only in Europe and America but the effect was seen everywhere, that is, even in Southern areas like New Zealand and South Africa. Hence, this does not explain everything.

Second, the reading tells that the volcanic eruption caused it as it blocked the sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface. The professor states that although there was not enough dust to produce cool climate to such an extent that It would but it could cause this phenomenon because it would have happened then it would have surely been noticed by people by certain striking features in sky or things like dramatic colorful sunset or grey/brown color snow. But nothing like that happened and so it is incorrect to blame volcanic eruption for this phenomenon.

Third, the author depicts that the decrease human population lead to decrease in forests and thus it caused decline in carbon dioxide resulting in Little Ice Age. In contrast, the lecturer rebuts this argument and reveals that the human population grew back rapidly and thus they cut down forests to feed their growing population and so the amount of carbon dioxide did not decrease to such an extent that it could possibly lead to this phenomenon.
