Mongolia seeing greatly increased occurrences of disastrous winter weather killing their livestock

[butters]

A dzud, a severe winter weather phenomenon, has devastated nearly six million livestock, according to an article in the New York Times. The World Health Organization reported that Mongolia has seen the most snow in 49 years, causing the deaths of well more than 5.9 million livestock (the number appears to have grown since the Times reported).

With temperatures in Mongolia rising twice as fast as the global average, extreme weather events have tripled in the last decade, per the Times. While dzuds used to occur once every decade, this year marks the second consecutive severe dzud and the fifth since 2014.

with around 1/3 of the population relying on agriculture and herding, times are growing even harder, faster, with the loss of livestock and crops.

meanwhile, in latin America:

A report from the World Meteorological Organization estimates that the region suffered tens of thousands of climate-related deaths in 2023, at least $21 billion in economic damage, and the greatest loss of calories of any region.

"Sadly, this is probably only the beginning," the report's lead author and director of the Brazil National Center for Monitoring and Early Warning of Natural Disasters told the Guardian. "Extreme events are becoming more frequent and the period of return is becoming shorter."

Why are so many people fleeing north across the border?

Maybe because it’s so f-ing hot the howler monkeys are dropping dead.

2024 crawfish harvest in Louisiana down 50-90% after unprecedented drought in '23

A historic drought in 2023, along with record summer heat, dried out the mud by late July through September when crayfish burrow into mud to spawn. They stay put until late fall when the usual heavy rains soften the plugs of clay soil that the moms carefully built to seal in the water, according to Lutz.

Rain is usually not an issue for hurricane-prone Louisiana.

However, the mud dried up and was too hard for mothers and babies to dig out of. Trapped moms resorted to eating their young or starving, according to a Food and Wine report. Many suffocated because their gills dried up after cracks formed in the mud, allowing in dry air.

And the King Crab fishing season last winter was abruptly cancelled entirely when it was discovered that 90% of the crab stock had simply...disappeared.

No such thing as climate change though! AJ and Rightguide and Chobham said so!
