▶ Your Answer :
In the given set of information, both the
reading passage and the lecture deal with the little ice age. The lecturer
casts doubt on the author’s assertion by presenting three compelling
counterarguments.
First
of all, according to the reading passage, there is are some conjectures that the
cooling of the Gulf Stream brought about temperatures to fall. However, the
lecturer refutes the passage by stating that the author’s claim is disputable.
To be specific, the theory cannot be applied on certain regions of Southern
Hemisphere such as New Zealand. The areas in Southern Hemisphere also
experienced the Little Ice Age but the Gulf Stream does not flow near those
areas.
Next,
volcanic eruptions have led temperatures to reduce on a global degree.
Regarding this point, the lecturer indicates that the idea is not convincing.
This is because only super volcanoes, which unlikely had occurred, could have
caused a temperature drop lasting for centuries.
Lastly,
the speaker disagrees with the reading’s final point on the tree regrowth
theory. He argues that the speed of the regrowth of the forest could not have
been fast enough to affect the temperature drop. Besides, the Little Ice Age
should have ended as soon as the population rebounded to its previous range.
