Both the reading and the lecture discuss about the little ice age. Whereas, the reading explains some reasons that perhaps, are the causes of this period, the listener disagrees. He thinks that the data used in the reading is out of date, also scientists have new evidences that cast doubt on the reading.

Second, the reading states that volcanic eruptions could have been responsible for the period of cooling. It says that dust could have blocked the sun and due to this temperature decreased. Contrary, the listener has another position, he accepted the fact that a huge volcanic eruption would reduce the amounts of light reaching the earth, but this fact require visual evidences from people. For instance, changes in color of the sun and sky should be obvious.
Finally, the reading says that another possible explanation could have been a decreased in human population, and also, the trees exaggerated withdrew of carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, the listening doesn't support this point, he claims that in order to develop the carbon dioxide phenomenon, human population should be absented for many years. This was not the case, because human rose and became normal in number quick, So the system didn't has time to develop.
