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

Unlike the passage, which mentions three explanations for the Little Ice Age, the lecture refutes all those theories made in the passage. The professor says that the information mentioned in the passage unfortunately out of date and scientists now know new information about the Little Ice Age.

First of all, the article mentions that Golf Stream might cause the Little Ice Age. On the other hand, the speaker explains that Golf disruption caused the temperature to decrease in Europe and North America, however, the Little Ice Age included New Zealand and Africa. Since the Gulf disruption cannot explain the very low temperature in New Zealand and Africa, it could not be the cause of the Little Ice Age.

Secondly, the professor opposes the volcanic theory mentioned in the reading, which states that volcanic eruption could have caused the Little Ice Age. He says that the clouds of the volcanic eruption could have caused visual problem to people at this time and the cloud might have been brown not white, there were not any reports of things like this, which might suggest that the volcanic eruption was not too big to cause the little Ice Age.

Lastly, decrease human population could have led to increase forest trees and the absorption of more carbon dioxide that keeps Earth warm, which mentioned in the article, is not a plausible theory according to the speaker. Furthermore, the speaker says that it needs very long time to cause the Little Ice Age. He elaborates on this by mentioning that human population increased again and they cut forest trees to plant crops for their food. That is why it was not too long to reduce temperature and cause the Little Ice Age, speaker says
