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

The author discusses several possible reasons scientists provide for the Little Ice Age. However, The speaker disagrees each reason in the passage and states that they are out of date.

First, the author suggests that disruption of ocean currents may cause the Little Ice Age, but the professor explains that according to new researchers such disruption only affects Europe and North America and argues that this reason will not explain the phenomena in the southern hemisphere.

Next, the passage tells us about volcanic eruptions that caused sunlight blockage which results in temperature reduction. However, the speaker challenged this reason by saying that if such eruptions happened, the people would notice its visual effects, but there has been no report from that period supporting this reason.

Finally, the author states the decrease in human population following by absorbing greenhouse gases by trees as the cause of Little Ice Age. But the professor says such phenomena needs a lot of more time to take place. He also asserts that this reason cannot explain the long period of Little Ice Age.
