Moscow-Sana
A report by an international panel of experts on climate change has revealed that the Russian capital, Moscow, has become one of the three fastest-warming cities in the world.
The Russian RIA Novosti news agency reported that the report monitored the average annual air temperature in Moscow, which rose between 1950 and 2018, by one degree, with only the cities of Tirana in Albania and Kolkata in India ahead of it.
The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had previously warned that the world was approaching "uncontrolled and dangerous" warming, the responsibility of which rests entirely with humans.
In a report to the panel, scientists warned that levels of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere are already high enough to cause climate disruption for decades, if not centuries.
