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 1900 C.E. There were unusually harsh winters and glaciers grew larger in many areas. Scientists 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 a large 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 temperature. Scientists know of several volcanic eruptions 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 reasons (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 and less carbon dioxide, Earth became cooler.
The reading states that Scientists have wondered what actually responsible for Little Ice Age, though,
have proposed several possible causes and provides three reasons of support. However, the lecturer says that this argument is little updated and new information unconvinced this argument and the lecturer refutes each of the author's proposals.
First of all, the article argues that earth climate had changed mainly in Europe and America, Little ice age would have occurred by the disruption of ocean current because cooling would have caused by the Disruption of ocean current. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He says that this argument only informed the disruption in Europe and America but does not provide any information about the southern area's disruption. Additionally, the lecturer says that the southern hemisphere like Newzeland and South Africa also had disrupted and cooling their temperature thus, Little Ice age has occurred.
Secondly, the author posits that volcanic eruption is another reason for the Little Ice age. the article said that global temperature decreases for a volcanic eruption, dark clouds dust, and sulfur gas permitted into the atmosphere, As a result, this cloud has spread in large areas and block some sunlight from reaching earth's surface. In contrast, however, the lecturer rebuts this claim that Volcanic dust would have produced some vivid effects but that have not reported. Furthermore, the lecturer says that dust has occurred several colorful sunlight and made the snow gray or brown instead of white but no one had reported any colorful effects. So this point does not hold water.
Finally, the article posits that human population declination could have contributed indirectly to the cooling of the climate change and occurred Little Ice Age. In contrast, the lecturer's position is that for stay constant carbon dioxide, the human population takes little time to become the previous level and could increase very quickly. As a result of food purposes, people again cut down the various number of trees and carbon dioxide would rise again. Moreover, the lecturer states that with more cut down trees and more carbon dioxide, the earth becomes warm again.
