Genghis Khan-Eco Warrior?!

Holybejaysus

Genghis Khan has been branded the greenest invader in history - after his murderous conquests killed so many people that huge swathes of cultivated land returned to forest.
The Mongol leader, who established a vast empire between the 13th and 14th centuries, helped remove nearly 700million tons of carbon from the atmosphere, claims a new study.

What an utterly bizarre attempt at spin from the green brigade. I wonder when they will be praising Stalin or Mao for their 'green' purges?

Forests are more interesting than the amount of people that died during his reign?

Anywho, now he must be labelled a hippy :P

Absolutely, and even though I thought it wasn't possible, it actually seems to be getting worse.
