Genghis Khan the GREEN: Invader killed so many people that carbon levels plummeted

Genghis Khan has been branded the greenest invader in history - after his murderous conquests killed so many people that huge swathes of cultivated land returned to forest.

The Mongol leader, who established a vast empire between the 13th and 14th centuries, helped remove nearly 700 million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, claims a new study.

Side note - Ghengis Khan did not use guns.

Sure and I’ll accept it for him.

Since the trace gas CO2 content in the atmosphere is about 3,000,000,000,000 tons (3,000 gigatons), those alleged 700 million tons are sure to have made a huge difference!

The innumerate are about to seize control of the earth. God help us!

Genghis cooked on that open grill. The left keeps telling us how much our grills cause global warming.

why not be as anti-atmospheric-carbon as ole Genghis

round up all the greenie weenies who believe the propoganda about current “man made global warming” along with its propogandists, and give them one way flights to mars

maybe their decaying carbon-based life forms will perform some atmospheric terraforming on mars and make colonization easier LOL

if you don’t know this is 100% sarcasm, I’m sorry

sometimes, some funny ideas just seem like appropriate “just deserts” even when we know we are not serious

I guess you don’t consider a drop of .0023% as “plummeting”.
