Both the reading material and the listening concentrate on what caused the Little Ice Age. Though the author offers several possible theories, in the professor’s opinion, all of these are out of date thus they cannot account for the Little Ice Age.
To begin with, the passage asserts the disruption of the Gulf Stream caused the Little Ice Age, however, the professor opposes it for this disruption could just effect Europe and North America. In fact, it also affects other areas such as South Africa and New Zeeland which cannot be explained by this theory.
Then, according to the author, clouds sent by volcanic eruptions could decrease the temperatures to cause the Little Ice Age. On the contrary, the speaker points out a different view that the dusts are, in fact not enough. Because we have not found any report about visual effects which could be seen if the dusts are large enough, it is a reasonable theory to account for the Little Ice Age.
Moreover, the author believes that due to the decline of human populations, the growth of forests made the earth cooler. In fact, it didn’t last enough time to work, as the speaker says, soon the populations began to grow and more trees were cut down for agriculture causing it is not possible to cool the earth.
