In the news recently were the giant wildfires that tore through Russia destroying fields and homes. Some in Russia believe that the fires are the result of global warming. This opinion is held by the Russian weather advisor Alexander Bedritsky. He believes that this and other events around the world prove that the world’s weather is heating up.
The recent fires in Russia have caused the government to take a new look at the climate change issue. I hope that Russia as well as the many developing nations will review their policies on greenhouse gases and come to a new agreement to fix the problem.
