Now we are expected to believe that global warming is
making Mongolia colder.

Record cold in Mongolia. And guess what the climate fraudsters blame it on?
The strain of exertion spreads across the little Mongolian boy’s face as he grabs hold of a rope fastened around a slumped cow’s neck, bends his knees and heaves with every muscle in his body to pull the animal to its feet.
Dorjoo, four, furrows his brow as he exclaims: “I can do this!” The determined focus in his eyes shows a glint of the optimism needed to survive this year’s bitter, brutal winter in the sweeping wilds of the Mongolian steppe.
But the cow, its ribs visible under its matted brown fur, is too feeble to stand up from the frozen soil where its legs buckled moments earlier.
Lying metres from a horrifying pile of decomposing animal carcasses, its own expression displays exhaustion and a weary embrace of impending death.
The sight of dead and dying animals has become tragically familiar in Mongolia this year as the East Asian nation has fallen into the grip of a slow-onset weather disaster known as the “dzud”.
About 90 per cent of the country has been impacted by the phenomenon – a deadly mix of perishing temperatures as low as -50C, icy winds and layers of heavy snow that have weakened livestock and frozen pasturelands, killing between four to six million cows, sheep, goats and horses since last November.
Officials say this year’s dzud is the worst in decades. Scientists attribute the catastrophe to a mixture of overgrazing and global climate change.
Can the Telegraph sink any lower? Now we are expected to believe that global warming is
making Mongolia colder.
