Tambora 1815

Anfang April 1815 explodierte der Vulkan Tambora in Indonesion. Um die 100.000 Menschen starben bei der Eruption, doch die Folgen waren noch verheerender: Die Aschewolke bedeckte ein Jahr lang die Nordhalbkugel und führte zu Missernten, Epidemien und Bürgeraufständen. Nach 200 Jahren ist es Forschern gelungen, die wahre Dimension dieser Katastrophe zu rekonstruieren.
Am 10. April 1815 bricht der Vulkan Tambora auf der indonesischen Insel Sumbawa in einer gigantischen Explosion aus. Die Eruptionssäule steigt auf über 40 Kilometer in die Höhe. Als Folge breitet sich ein riesiger Aerosol-Schleier in der Stratosphäre aus, der weltweit für nie dagewesene Klimaturbulenzen sorgt. Das Jahr 1816 geht in die Geschichte ein als das Jahr ohne Sommer. Besonders für die Landwirtschaft sind die Auswirkungen katastrophal. Weil Regen und Kälte auf der Nordhalbkugel dramatische Missernten verursachen, grassiert eine Hungersnot in weiten Teilen Europas. Hunderttausende verhungern oder fallen entkräftet Krankheiten zum Opfer. In der Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben machen sich viele auf den Weg in die USA – die ersten großen Auswanderungswellen des 19. Jahrhunderts. Menschen, die es sich nicht leisten können auszuwandern, rebellieren gegen das System. In England führt die "corn bill", ein umstrittenes Gesetz, das Getreide stark besteuert, zu massiven Ausschreitungen in London und anderen Großstädten. Noch Jahrzehnte später sind die Auswirkungen des Ausbruchs spürbar. Ungewöhnliche Wetterturbulenzen in Indien bereiten einem gefährlichen Bakterium den Boden. Es ist der Beginn der ersten weltweiten Cholera-Pandemie, die Millionen Opfer fordert. Der Ausbruch des Tambora vor 200 Jahren war fast in Vergessenheit geraten. Die Dokumentation untersucht die globalen Folgen dieser verheerenden Naturkatastrophe und begleitet Wissenschaftler, die entschlüsseln, wie dieser Vulkan Geschichte schrieb.

Seven years since he passed away, Indonesia's former President Gus Dur is still a constant figure in people's minds. Some would use him as a target of hate, but many regard him as a hero, says his daughter Alissa Wahid.
He believed in the universalism of Islam: That Islam has in its core the values of human dignity, and democracy, with all its limitations, is the best political ideology to ensure it. He wrote, "Democracy is not only not haram [forbidden] in Islam, but is a compulsory element of Islam. Upholding democracy is one of the principles of Islam."

The countries scoring lowest in that table are Indonesia and Peru; Albania also in the lowest segment of performers.
