It's pretty dull on Skins's island today.

40,000 head of livestock dead due to winter storm

http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/woalert_read.php?cid=15404...

More than 40,000 head of livestock have been killed in harsh winter weather which has left around 90 percent of Mongolia buried under a blanket of snow. Local media said Friday that animals had died due to a lack of food caused by the adverse weather. In some places the snow is up to 25 centimeters deep. The reports said the Mongolian government was working to reduce the damage to the farming industry, which is one of the most important sectors of the country's economy. More than 40 million livestock are bred in Mongolia.)

1. To put that in perspective - 

In the US, 25 million cattle are slaughtered per year. Roughly 68,000 per day.

5. Is nature "taking out" some parts of the carbon track?

I mean, man, it's so slow on Skins's island today, I never felt compelled to dredge up a bonfire about Mongolian livestock, but this is the best one can do.

The primitives aren't producing.

Well, look on the bright side. That's 40,000 less cattle flatulating and adding to the dire global warming crisis.

Is it wrong to sit here and daydream about a massive BBQ when I read stuff like that?

This primitive has actually stumbled on something..the way nature actually does regulate itself.
If they would all understand this natural happening then they could ease their collective minds regarding global warming.

If that's wrong, I don't want to be right!
