This environut author forgot to credit Stalin & Mao with their own climate saving efforts.

And here we go. Save the earth: Kill lots and lots of people.
Help get the people on board for the leftist leaders’ existing plans for mass murder and genocide.
I’m sure only “bad people” in the TEA Party will be targeted in the crosshairs of the enviro-killers’ (government’s) sights, right, Lefties?
Surely Mao Zedong, the father of communist China, removed far more carbon from the atmosphere through his “great leap forward” program that killed 80 million.

Genghis was a bad motor scooter.
But Attila wasn’t so bad: his wife and waitresses called him `Hon.’
Soylent Green is carbon!
Author neglects to note that in the 13th and 14th centuries, there was minimal fossil-fuel use, so the carbon taken out of the atmosphere wouldn’t have been put there by humans.
“13th and 14th centuries” also corresponds roughly to the beginning of the Little Ice Age and the Bubonic Plague epidemic that hit Europe in the early 1300s, killing tens of millions of people.
I presume the author celebrates that also.
This research is so pointless, so useless, and so irrelevent that it must have been taxpayer funded.
This writer is a moron. This is the enviro's solution to a t.
If you will actually pay attention to the conquests of Ghengis Khan, you will notice that whenever he conquered a city, he only removed the leaders and then left the people, customs, religion and lifestyles in place so that he could trade with them. The excepts were muslim cities. The muslims gave him so many problems and he could not trust them to uphold their word, so he razed their cities and killed everyone of them that he encountered.
Ghengis Khan might not have been as bad as our agenda driven teachers led us to believe.
They don't do this because the recent history is too recent and not far enough removed to emotionally dis-associate oneself from the carnage.
This is so disgusting as to make me think people like this don't belong on this planet. Regardless, I won't whop off their damned silly heads in protest. Disgusting people twisting history and arguments to fit a ridiculous premise to start with.....I feel so dirty after reading that article.
The ONLY thing which occasionally acts like a greenhouse gas on this planet is water vapor. Genghis Khan never did anything which would affect clouds or water vapor.

[During the war, Green led a faction of violent ecoterrorists whose actions led to the death of some 37 million people. ]
No, it's pretty much what many of them have been thinking.
Yes, he killed lots of people, as did Stalin, Hitler, Mao, etc., but none of them cooled the planet. The climate isn’t that easy to control.
KHAAAAAAN!
The Mongols also destroyed irrigation systems over large areas effectively turning once verdant and productive tracts into wasteland. And that 40 million figure may be way under the actual total slaughtered or killed indirecly as a result of famine and disease that followed in the wake of the very destructive Mongol armies.
I believe we get insight into the kind of thinking that is pervasive among the inner circle of the green movement. Fewer humans = less carbon emissons = happy Gaiea. Not a few of these people would be quite happy to see wholesale slaughter of their fellow human beings. Their biggest worry in regards to that is means and not the end result (which they welcome). So long as people can be exterminated without filling the atmosphere with nuclear fallout or excessive carbon emissions from the burning of whole cities then it is OK (though “regretable”).
