The alarmed scientists Siberian Beat the winter and spring temperature record

Scientists say the Siberian unseasonably warm weather throughout the winter and spring is an “alarming sign” – some of the most important effects of global climate change as the world warms. In May the temperatures on the surface “were above average in parts of Siberia to 10 degrees Celsius”, according to research connected by an environmental agency with the European Commission. “It ‘s certainly an alarming sign, but not only was in May in this unusually hot area,” says Freja Vamborg, senior researcher at the Air Service Copernicus in a statement on Wednesday. “The whole winter and spring periods had higher repeated as mean surface air temperatures.” The program reported a few days ago that in May 2020 “May the most hot recorded globally,” it was with the greatest number of “above-average temperatures (…) on parts of Siberia. Recorded” Marina Makarova, the chief meteorologist weather Russia Rosgidromet service said: “this winter the hottest in Siberia since records began 130 years started before” and that “the average temperatures have been up to 6 degrees Celsius higher than seasonal norms,” ​​the Guardian reported. Vamborg notes that while the whole world is getting warmer, in some regions – such as Western Siberia – are characterized by how hot the area is to get. It is not uncommon to experience for the “great temperature anomalies” regions, as you say. “But what is unusual in this case, until the warmer than average for anomalies have persisted,” says Vamborg. The negative effects of a warmer climate are already being felt in the region. Media reports have also demonstrated a “unusually early breaking of the ice in the rivers Siberia” notes of Copernicus. In addition, just last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a state of emergency in the city of Norilsk, after a massive oil spill in the Arctic. The accident was caused by the collapse of a power plant. (Copernicus said that this was “thought to be supported by melting of permafrost beneath the tank.”) Last year, the Siberian region also experienced devastating forest fires, which have burned millions of acres.
