Both the reading and lecture are about the strange little ice age which occurred in the world from 1300 to 1900CE. The reading provides three hypotheses for the mentioned event and then supports them. The lecturer casts doubt on claims made in the article and finds all of arguments out of date and dubious.
First of all, the author of reading declares that before beginning the ice age, there was the unusual warm climate which caused glaciers to melt; hence, a huge cold freshwater entered to Gulf stream. The aforementioned stream is a large ocean which affects Earth's climate. Briefly, this event could create the disruption in the ocean currents and the little ice age started. This point is challenged by the professor and he points out that nowadays, researchers have understood that Gulf Stream can have impacts on North America and Europe; however, the ice age was a global phenomenon and it occurred in South Africa and New Zealand too.
Secondly, the article contends that it may have happened by volcanic eruption series; therefore, dark clouds including dust and sulfur gas blocked the sunlight from reaching Earth's surface and the climate became cold; in contrast, the lecturer expresses that if this suggestion is true, so other changes had to be observed by people such as visual effects like grey snow instead of white and colorful sunlight; however, any document has not be reported by humans at that time.
Finally, the reading passage states that when the ice age happened, the human beings population may have declined; consequently, few trees were cut down by people and a lot of carbon dioxide was absorbed by trees and weather got cooler and cooler. This argument is rebutted by the lecturer and he poses that there could not be enough time for this hypothesis. He elaborates on this by mentioning that human population grew quickly and people started planting more crops for supplying their food and even they cut down a great number of trees and again Carbon dioxide returned atmosphere. As you see, the reduction of population did not last for long-term.
