According to the reading, there is ample support to author's point that there are contributors to effect global warming. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal for the author's claim.
First, the professor insists that there is no supported evidence that methane gas is one of contributors to the rise in global temperatures. She mentioned that only 9 percent of green house gases is methane gas and it is too low to affect, so it is impossible that methane become to contributors of global warming. This cast doubts on the reading passage's claim that organic waste buried in landfills breaks down and produces methane then methane prevents some of earth's heat from escaping into space.
Next, the professor contends that carbon cycle is not match with what we know. If tree dies naturally, it releases carbon dioxide that it has before dying. Consequently, carbon dioxide is absorbed and emitted continuously. This counters the reading passage's assertion that carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere when many trees are cut down by humans and it causes temperatures around the globe to rise.
Finally, the professor argues that the Medieval Warm Period was not world-wide. What it means that temperature in north hemisphere was warm but other religions were cooler, so average temperature was lower than they expected. Something else would have affected the Medieval Warm Period. This refutes the reading passage's suggestion that the current warming trend is related to a naturally occurring cycle of climate change.
