"Stupid" Mongolian herders: 61 percent say summers are cooler

Mongolian Herders' Perceptions of Climate Change - NYTimes.com
...61 percent say the summers are cooler and highly variable, with a few very hot days that burn and kill the grasses.
...82 percent say the rains are cold...And 63 percent of herders said something similar to this: “When we were kids we had gentle, warm shivree rains, lasting two to three days, and we could go out barefoot, without shirts, and play in the rain. Now it is too cold and kids do not like to go out in the rain.”
