According to the CIA factbook, Mongolia has a population of… wait for it… 3,041,142

More people probably get lost everyday on the subway in Shanghai than live in all of Mongolia!

Encroaching sea levels and significant increases in precipitation in eastern China will force the relocation of tens of millions of people.

Given the long heritage of conflict between the two groups (and “Inner” Mongolia is still part of China), I’ sticking by my prediction that the Mongolians have more to fear from migrating hordes of people than the elevated temperatures and rainfall.

I’m working from the proposition that changing the awful weather in Mongolia might make it one of the few areas that might improve from AGW. I agree with LVQ that many many areas are going to get worse, but some might get better. It’s very hard to predict full outcomes for specific regions, but you know Mongolia can’t get much worse.
