tpo 27 the causes of the Litte Ice Age
The material discusses the possible causes of the Little Ice Age. While the reading suggests three theories that might trigger this phenomenon, the listening challenges all these theories and mentions that they are out-of-date, and there is new information that may account for Little Ice Age.
First, the author states that glaciers melted during the warm weather before the Little Ice Age added fresh cold water to the Gulf Stream and disturb its currents and caused cold weather. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and points out that the disturbance that happened in the Gulf Stream could explain the cold weather in Europe and North America, but could not explain the cooling in other hemispheres. The lecturer adds that the weather was cold also in Newzeland and South Africa. According to the lecture, this theory could not explain the cold weather in the southern areas, so it could not be the main reason for the Little Ice Age.
Second, the writer cites that the Little Ice Age might happen due to volcanic eruption, which added lots of dust to the atmosphere and block the sunlight. On the contrary, the professor encounters this and brings up that volcanic eruption should be strong to add enough dust to the atmosphere, but it should accompany with other effects. The lecture explains that it should produce a striking visual effect, a dramatic colorful sunset, and snow was brown or gray. The professor mentions that none of this evidence reported, so the volcanic eruption was not strong enough to cause the cold weather.
Third, the reading posits that the decrease in the human population might cause The Litte Ice Age because they did not cut trees, increasing trees' numbers could absorb carbon dioxide and earth became cooler. Conversely, the speaker contradicts this and contends that there was not enough time for trees to cool the weather. The professor explains that human populations grew back again fast, so they cut down trees again for crops needed to feed the growing population.
