In the reading passage, there is ample support for the author’s claim of objective explains for the red rain phenomenon in Kerala. However, the professor in the lecture gives several reasons as a rebuttal to the author’s point.
First, the professor contends that the rain composed of the bats’ blood is far-fetched. If the arguments would be true, the amount of bats’ blood is needed five million of bats at the same time. And also, people cannot find any of bat’s bones or wings like that. This casts doubt on the reading passage’s claim that red rains are consists of the blood of bats.
Next, the professor insists that the volcanic eruptions from the Philippines is disproved. This is because no one else has even any damages from the eruption in Philippines. In addition to Vietnam and surrounded nations also not happened. This counters the reading passage’s assertion that red rain leads to a volcanic explosion from the Philippines.
Finally, the professor argues that there are not many factories in Kerala. Therefore, chemical toxic from the factories in Kerala is not a fact. In the end, it leads to actually nothing. This refutes the reading passage’s suggestion that red rain is due to the chemical pollution which is emitted from surrounded facilities.
