Heck, it's summer, sorry if this isn't that germane, but it sure was an interesting thesis.

Both the secular and the religious authorities, under pressure to find the causes of rapidly changing meteorological events beyond the understanding of the period, could only point fingers at the old hapless women living on the margins of the societies denounced as witches that were supposed to hold powers to influence the weather. It was only much later in the seventeenth century that science, and law, intervened to save the lives of these innocent women. Fortunately, in the current period of global warming deep scientific understanding of the unfolding meteorological events would at least ensure that there is no witch hunting.
