TPO 27 integrated writing : Little Ice Age
The article suggests three possible explanations for the Little Ice Age period. The professor however states that the article's arguments are out of date unfortunately, and scientists have now new information that challenges the arguments.
The first explanation is that a disruption in the Gulf Stream may have been the cause of the period. The professor opposes this point by saying that such disruption could have cooling effects in the Europe and North America only. Therefore, it cannot explain why the southern hemisphere, such as New Zeland and South Africa, was also involved in the Little Ice Age period.
The reading's second explanation is that a volcanic eruption could be the cause, since it sends dark clouds of dust in the atmosphere, blocking the sunlight and causing cooling. The professor contends with this point by saying that a strongly enogh dust for such cooling effects have visual effects that people would notice. But, there are no reports made by people on seeing such effects like colorful sunlight or brown and dark snows.
The third explanation offered by the author is that a significant decrease in human population may have been the cause, which means more trees, more carbon dioxide absorbation and decrease of the greenhouse effect. The professor refutes this point by saying that there was not enough time for such process to take place. He explains that at the time, human population recovered fairly quickly, leading to more agricultural fields for crops. Therefore, although substantial, that short period of human population decline could not have long-term global cooling effects.
