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 1900 C.E. There were unusually harsh winters and glaciers grew larger in many areas. Scientists have long wondered what caused the Little Ice Age. Several possible causes have been proposed.
First, the cooling may have been caused by disrupting of ocean currents. Before the Little Ice Age, there was a period of unusually warm weather during which glaciers melted. These melted glaciers sent a large amount of cold freshwater into the Gulf Stream, a large ocean current that strongly affects Earth’s climate. Some scientists believe that this freshwater was enough to temporarily disrupt the Gulf Stream. Such a disruption could have caused the Little Ice Age.
Second, volcanic eruption could have caused the Little Ice Age. When volcanoes erupt they send dark clouds of dust and sulfur gas into the atmosphere. These clouds, which can spread over great areas, block some sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface. This can decrease the global temperature. Scientists know of several volcanic eruptions that took place during the Little Ice Age.
Third, substantial decreases in human populations may have contributed indirectly to the cooling of the climate. For a variety of reasons (disease, warfare, social disruption), the human population just before the Little Ice Age and during the early part of it was lower than it had been in a long time. Forest trees started growing on fields that were no longer used for agriculture. Since trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, they decrease the greenhouse effect that keeps Earth warm. With more forest trees and less carbon dioxide, Earth became cooler.
The reading and lecture are both about the little ice age which lasted about 1350 20 1900 C.E. The author of the reading present several possible reasons for the phenomenon. However, the lecturer challenged the claim made by the author. He is on the opinion that unfortunately, the reading is a little outdated. None of the idea for account little ice-age.
To begin with, the author argues that a large amount of water is produced in the summer season from glaciers melting and flow to the Gulf stream and produce a negative impact on the earth's climate. The specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He states that scientist proved that cooling happened only Europe and America. Little ice-age only occur in Australia and South Africa. He also elaborates the point by bringing that little ice-age cannot explain the theory clearly.
Second, the writer suggests that volcanic eruption caused little ice-age because of dark clouds and sulfur gas. He also claims that this erupted clouds blokes the sunlight and declines the global temperature. However, the lecturer rebuts this by mentioning that a large amount of striking dust produces visual notice like bright sunset or brown colour ice instead of white. He also claims that people of that era should notice it but there is no evidence of the phenomenon.
Third, the author posits that may be the decrease in population causes the cooling effect. he also claims that human produces carbon-dioxide which is the cause of warmer climate. Due to less population and the huge forest area is one of the cause of the cooling effect. In contrast, the author position is that human eventually grew back in the previous level and then forest also cut down for agriculture and produce enough carbon dioxide for heat. He also mentions that it is not long enough to cause for little ice -effect.
