Though Russia is warming 2.5 times as fast as the rest of the planet, some of its scientists, RAS members and public figures regularly voice denials of climate science, sowing confusion among the populace.
In May, the RAS’s Eurasian economic integration council said that Earth’s warming is primarily due to the “outflow of potassium isotope from the Earth’ depths” and linked local climate catastrophes to the “increasing emission of natural hydrogen, which creates ozone holes.”
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in contrast, states that human release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane have “unequivocally” led to global warming.
Present in Russian public discourse for decades, climate deniers often have backgrounds in natural sciences, engineering, paleoclimatology, or the fossil fuel industry, experts say.
I live in a blessed region, without floods forest fires
You do know the people in affected regions will have to flee and immigrate to your so called “blessed regions”, right? This will result in an unprecedentet refugee crisis
You guys are forgetting the increased scarcity of food and the loss of Wildlife. There’s the chance it’s a cascading run away effect and it only increases from now on.
But yes also hundreds of millions of people will have to migrate, temperature extremes will cause problems everywhere, and the world will become less habitable for a very long time.
Oh, so the whole global instability is ok, because you personally live in a region that is “blessed”?
So let me ask you this: can we also say that there is no housing shortage anywhere in the world, just because if you ask a few millionaires, they can’t see a problem for them personally?
Housing shortage a little bit other thing
Anyway I just try to explain you scepticism of Russian people
