TOPIC: ARGUMENT47 - Scientists studying historical weather patterns have discovered that in the mid-sixth century, Earth suddenly became significantly cooler. Although few historical records survive from that time, some accounts found both in Asia and Europe mention a dimming of the sun and extremely cold temperatures. Either a huge volcanic eruption or a large meteorite colliding with Earth could have created a large dust cloud throughout Earth's atmosphere that would have been capable of blocking enough sunlight to lower global temperatures significantly. A large meteorite collision, however, would probably create a sudden bright flash of light, and no extant historical records of the time mention such a flash. Some surviving Asian historical records of the time, however, mention a loud boom that would be consistent with a volcanic eruption. Therefore, the cooling was probably caused by a volcanic eruption.
The aruger tells that the earth became cooler in the mid-sixth century. The phenomenon is found by scientists. Through a meditation of many facts and reasonings, the arguer gives us his own explanation of the cooling. He concludes that the cooling was probably caused by a volcanic eruption. After a careful scrutiny of his reasons, it is not difficult to pick up some fatal fallacies from his discussion.
Firstly, the arguer failed to convince us that the dimming of sun that had been recorded in the mid-sixth is directly caused by volcanic eruption or large meteorite colliding. There are many other factors that can cause the loss of brilliance of the sun. For instance, an eclipse. Because the arguer did not give us any detail of those few historical records, we do not know how long did the dimming was. For this reason, the specific reason for the dimming of the sun and cold temperature is unknown.
Secondly, even if the cold weather of that time was caused by volcanic eruption or a collision between a large meteorite and the earth, we can not conclude that which of the two catastrophes appeared by the arguer's reason. There is no records about a flash in the mid-sixth century. It does not mean that a flash did not appear at that time. Given that the historical records are not sufficient, it is highly likely that a collision happened but it was not recorded by people at that time. And for the same reason, the loud boom record does not automatically mean that a volcanic eruption happened.
Given the discussion above, the arguer's conclusion is ineffictive.
