TPO-27 Integrated Writing
The little ice age was a period of unusually cold temperature in many parts of the world that lasted from about the year 1350 until 1900CE. There were southern harsh winters, and glaciers grew also in many areas. Scientist have long wondered what caused the Little Ice Age. Several possible causes have been proposed.
First, the cooling may have been caused by disrupting of ocean currents. Before the Little Ice Age, there was a period of unusually warm weather during which glaciers melted. These melted glaciers sent evidence amount of cold freshwater into the Gulf Stream, a large ocean current that strongly affects Earth's climate. Some scientists believe that this freshwater was enough to temporarily disrupt the Gulf Stream. Such a disruption could have caused the Little Ice Age.
Second, volcanic eruption could have caused the Little Ice Age. When volcanoes erupt, they send dark clouds of dust and sulfur gas into the atmosphere. These clouds, which can spread over great areas, block some sunlight from reaching Earth's surface. This can decrease the global temperatures. Scientists know of several volcanic eruption that took place during the Little Ice Age.
Third, substantial decreases in human populations may have contributed indirectly to the cooling of the climate. For a variety of reason(disease, warfare, social disruption), the human population just before the Little Ice Age and during the early part of it was lower than it had been in a long time. Forest trees started growing on fields that were no longer used for agriculture. Since trees absorb carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, they decrease the greenhouse effect that keeps Earth warm. With more forest trees carbon dioxide, earth became cooler.
The article states that the little ice age was a period of unusually cold temperature and provides three reasons of support. However, the professor states that those reasons are out of date and refutes the author's reasons. First, the reading explains that cooling may have been caused by disrupting of ocean currents. The professor refutes the point stating that ocean current may cause for cold temperature in Asia and Europe. but ocean current couldn't be a cause for the little ice age in place like New Zealand and southern part of the earth. Second, the author asserts that volcanoes eruption produced huge amount of dust which spread over large area and prevented sunlight from reaching earth's surface. The professor opposes this by explaining that if there was huge amount of dust creation because of volcanic eruption, people must have noticed that. but there is no such record that people noticed something like this.So this reason also an invalid one. Third, the article states that substantial decrease in human population caused huge amount of plants to grow which absorbs a myriad of Carbon Di Oxide and make the earth colder. The professor explains that world population was less than earlier time for a small span of time. after a certain time , world population started to rise again. So, that small period couldn’t be alone responsible for huge amount of forest trees. after population's rising, people started to use forest area for livelihood.So this is also an invalid reason for The little ice age.
