The Ice Age
tpo 27
both the author and the lecturer discuss the cause of the little ice age. The passage claims that several possible causes have been proposed for ice age. The professor, on the other hand, completely reject whatever mentioned in the reading through citing three reasons.
First, both the author and the professor talk about melting glacier in a period of warm weather. According to the passage, melted glaciers produced by warm weather sent a large amount of cold water into the gulf stream that affects earth's climate. The lecturer, nevertheless, reject the author's view and illustrates the idea that disrupting the gulf stream occurred in America and Europe and in some areas such as New Zealand that was not exposed to the disrupting of ocean current the little ice age is seen.
Second of all, both the reading and the lecture discuss volcanic eruption. The author argues that volcanic eruption sent dark clouds of dust to the atmosphere and these clouds block some sunlight from reaching earth's surface which decrease the global temperature. However, the professor refutes this, saying that dust have to change the color of snow from white to gray but there is no strong enough evidence for the presence of dust in this period.
Eventually, the passage and the lecture address the subject of decreasing human populations. The passage goes on to mention that forest trees started growing and they absorbed carbon dioxide which caused decreasing the temperature. In contrast, the professor points out that increased population needed crops, so people started cutting down the trees and decrease in number of the forests led to increase in carbon dioxide and temperature of the earth.
All in all, the author maintains that there are some reasons for occurrence of ice age, while the professor not only cast doubt on it, but he also demonstrates that there are no evidence to proof the causes of this event.
