Quick follow up on the subject of Mongolian desertification. This past Sunday the country was engulfed in a massive dust storm that killed about a dozen people, collapsed more than a hundred homes and left 1.6 million livestock either dead or lost to their herders, no doubt including lots of cashmere goats. These dust storms grow worse each spring.
