Both the lecturer and the reading passage discuss red rain, a phenomenon
in the Indian state of Kerala. The lecturer
casts doubt on the author's claim on several plausible
reasons for this phenomenon, by presenting three counter-arguments.
First, the lecturer asserts that it is unlikely that the blood of
bats is the main cause of red rain. This is because a
tremendous amount number of bats would be needed to be destroyed for this phenomenon of
red rain to occur. In addition, if numerous bats were destroyed,
remains of the bats should have been found. This counters the author's
assertion that red rain contained was caused by the
blood of bats.
Second, the lecturer claims that volcanic eruption in the Philippines, as
an explanation for the red rain, is unconvincing. He says that if the red rain
happened due to volcanic activity, the entire Philiphines
Philippines should have experienced the red
rain. Moreover, the countries such as Vietnam, which is situated between
Philiphines the Philippines
and India did not experience the red rain. This refutes the author's claim that
volcanic eruption created the red rain.
Lastly, the lecturer argues that the theory that chemical pollution
caused the red rain phenomenon is disputable. He claims that because only a few factories were in India, chemical emission was
not severe. Moreover, the red rain did not happen in regions where most
factories are were concentrated. This
opposes the reading passage's claim that chemical pollution created the red
rain in Kerala.
