In the Sahara Desert, located in the north of Africa continent and known for its dry, hot climate, passed snowfall. The sands were covered with a 40-centimeter layer of snow, which puzzled world climatologists. Scientists believe that global climate change has long gone out of control and will continue to be only worse. If in Russia this winter has stood out unusually warm, then in many other parts of the world are now observed abnormal cold, for example, in North America there are terrible frosts.
The video below was received the other day nearby from the Algerian city of Ain Sefra on the northern edge of the Sahara. Local residents were struck by this natural anomaly, since for many in recent decades, snow has been falling here only three times, and even then as plentiful as it is today. To extract their maximum occurred pleasures, Africans began to shoot the snow-white desert on photos and videos, as well as playing snowballs and sculpting snowmen. Eyewitnesses they say that first a real blizzard arose here, then the weather cleared up. Thick snow almost all day lay on the sand, and now began to gradually melt.
By the way, for the Sahara, global climate change may turn out to be quite auspicious phenomenon. Scientists suggest that such at the pace after 15 thousand years the largest hot desert of the planet will turn green again and turn into a paradise, which she and was in ancient times. Green Sahara turning into lifeless desert, according to anthropologists, forced our ancestors leave Africa and settle in other parts of the planet (true, this is one of the versions that has recently been serious criticism even from orthodox scholars who are not agree that civilization originated in African continent).
Only one thing is certain: the climate on Earth is changing cyclically, and beyond a long drought in the Sahara desert will certainly be followed by a period flowering. It is a pity, the current generation, and many subsequent ones, do not will see this. However, if you believe in reincarnation, then anything can to be…
