TPO-27. The Little Ice Age.
The reading and the lecture are both about the several possibilities that might have cause the cooling of the weather during the Little Ice Age. The author in the reading states three reasons that have been proposed by scientists. The lecturer casts doubts on the main points made by the reading by providing three reasons.
First of all, according to the reading passage, the cooling may have been trigger from the disruption of ocean currents. Consequently, the high temperatures caused the melting of glaciers. Therefore, the huge amount of the cold water strongly affected Earth's climate. However, the lecturer dispute this point, He says that this do not explain Why the weather in South Africa did not change. So, it is hard to say that this is true.
Secondly, the reading states that volcanic eruption could have caused the Little Ice Age. The dust that was created from the eruption could have blocked the sunlight, therefore, the global temperatures decrease. Nevertheless, the lecturer refutes this argument. He argues that people did not see any other signs such as gray snow or colorful sun because of the dust. So, they did not have any report about it, which means that this is not a strong evidence.
Lastly, the reading claims that since the presence of humans was low at that time that may have contributed indirectly to cool the climate. Because of this, forest trees started growing and no longer were cut by humans, so trees absorbed all the carbon dioxide and decreased the greenhouse effect. On the other hand, the lecturer believes that this is not possible for that short time to have happened because the population grew right after and they cut trees again.
