Wetteranomalien
On 5 Rabi’ I (31.12.1753), a great amount on snow fell in Fez, and continued to do so from after the dawn, into the night and the following morning, and even until noon the following day. It filled the rooftops, weighing them down, and it was feared that they would collapse, as it was piled on top of the houses to a height of a dhira’,. The people proceeded to throw it down into the streets with planks (used) for (threshing) wheat, but it disappeared from the streets only with great difficulty, as it completely covered the ground in the empty spaces. The God the exalted held it back, but later it fell several more times. The first snowfall was on the last day of the first third of December, and it snowed again on the last day of the following January. Its end was a favour granted by God the Exalted.
Ob sich das Klima auf der Erde erwärmen wird, weiß ich nicht. Welche Rolle dabei das CO2 spielt, kann ich nicht beurteilen. Als Historiker stößt man aber darauf, dass die gerade zu Ende gegangene Kleine Eiszeit, die uns in der Klimadiskussion fälschlich als Normal- und Idealzustand verkauft wird, von den Betroffenen ganz anders erlebt wurde.
