    Id review that hell out of that data. Fascinating to learn if they created or ended more life…as a team.

      Well there’s a study saying that the Mongol pillaging led to a small but measurable drop in global temperature so I’m going with kill.

        I go back-and-forth with that data point. Because while that is measurable and does exist, there’s also tons of data to the contrary.

        Here: researchers argue that the “Genghis-Khan-caused global cooling” idea is overstated: the modeled CO₂ drop from Mongol-era depopulation is extremely small (far below what’s visible in ice cores), natural forces like volcanic eruptions and solar variability overwhelmingly dominate climate shifts of that period, population-loss estimates are highly uncertain, any localized reforestation would have been offset by land-use changes elsewhere, and no clear cooling signal appears in proxy climate records at the exact time of the Mongol conquests.

      Point of order though: is one sexy time counted as one fuck, or is all the sex, as long as it’s the same partner, counted as one fuck?
