The reading passage proposes several possible causes of Little Ice Age period. However, the lecturer refutes them all mentioning that those proposals are made based on backdated information.
First of all, the author posits that disruption of Gulf Stream could have caused the Little Ice Age. On the contrary, the professor challenges this point underlining the fact that Gulf Stream was disrupted only in Europe and North America, but the Little ica age occurred in Southern Hemisphere area also. Thus, disruption of Gulf stream fails to explain root cause of this phenomenon in all areas.
Secondly, according to the article, volcanic eruption creates dark clouds of dust and sulfur gas into the atmosphere, which can cover large areas and block sunlight from reaching surface of Earth and consequently decrease global temperature. Thus, mentioning scientific evidences, the author says that volcanic eruption might cause Little Ice Age. Nevertheless, the lecturer points out to the fact that enough dust is needed to cause this kind of phenomenon and no events like striking visual effects were reported which can support author's argument.
Finally, the author argues that decrease in human population due to numerous reasons and consequently increased growth of forest trees contributed to mitigate greenhouse effect and thus caused the cooling of the climate. The author refutes this view mentioning that there was not enough time to cause this effect as human population shorty increased back to previous level. Again, more fields were used for agriculture and forests were cut down. So, forest was not increased to such a level for enough time that might cause Little ice age.
