Global warming will have its effect on Russia 2-5 times sooner than the rest of the planet, Head of Russia’s Agency on Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring Aleksander Frolov says to TASS.
According to Frolov, Russia will get certain advantages from global warming: “The navigation period will become longer. The heating season will become shorter, which is very important for a cold country such as Russia. Areas where grain and beans can be sowed will become significant larger, especially in Western Siberia and the Urals. The zone where you can live a comfortable life will become larger, and we can move further north,” Frolov says.
