Moscow-Sana
Russian scientists revealed that over the past ten years, Russia has witnessed an acceleration in the phenomenon of climate change caused by global warming.
The Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper quoted the Russian Meteorological Agency, which published an annual report on the state of the climate in Russia in 2020, as saying: “The average temperature in Russia during the past 10 years has increased by 0.51 degrees Celsius, knowing that the global average temperature rose by only 0.18 degrees Celsius. “.
The authority pointed out that the speed of climate change in Russia has increased since the 1970s, indicating that the process of changing towards a warm climate will continue.
In turn, the director of the Russian Voykov Geophysical Laboratory, Vladimir Katsov, said in an interview with the Russian Novosti Agency: "We cannot be 100% certain that the trend towards an increase in the speed of the development of global warming in Russia will remain, but there is a high probability that this phenomenon will continue in the future."
According to Katsov, climate changes increase the number of dangerous natural phenomena that may cause melting and shrinkage of the ice in the Arctic, so climate scientists must now scrutinize their predictions in an attempt to determine the dates of possible natural disasters.
It is noteworthy that the head of the Russian Meteorological Authority, Roman Wilvand, announced earlier that his authority will review this year the basic thermometers that have been determined for the years from 1961 to 1990, and the new measurements will be calculated based on the average temperatures in the years from 1991 to 2020, and forecasts will also be made. To change the temperature for the next 30 years.
