“The Mongol invasion scrubbed nearly 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, according to surprising new research.”
That’s the lede on a Mother Nature Network article from early this year.
Scrubbed. Wrong word. Slightly celebratory. Fuel for the anti-environmentalist fire.
Fascinating research. Could be useful someday. Needs good reporting.
Thanks to bokane.org for the heads up.
