THE NEXT ICE AGE - NOW!

17 Jan 11 - Mongolia is battling its most severe winter in three decades.

On Monday, Mongolia's Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Zandanshatar Gombojav said most rural provinces in the poor, landlocked country sandwiched between China and Russia were covered
by up to 20 inches (50 cm) of snow.

Gombojav said nearly 800,000 animals had been lost while many transport routes were blocked by heavy snow.

"The severity and the duration of such extreme weather could overwhelm our capacity and resources," Zandanshatar said at a press conference.
