Academician: immunity of the person is ready for the cold cycle, which takes the planet – Business Portal

g of 19 on November 2015.

human immunity adapted to 30-year-old cold cycle, which takes the planet. BelTA Tass chairman of the Tyumen Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences Academician Vladimir Melnikov. He predicted that in the coming years, the average temperature will fall by 1.5-2 degrees. Scientists believe that this slight cooling safely survive not only people but also animals and plants.

“In the distant past, when humanity was not yet the means of salvation from the cold, glacial periods have led to disastrous results down to the extinction of species. However, it was cold the other scale and duration and temperature levels. They are not comparable with the short-period cycles that we are going through, “- said the academician.

Humanity is waiting for 30 cold winters

The Russian weather forecasters predict a second consecutive year, the harsh winters. According to the head of the Federal Service for Hydrometeorology and Environmental Monitoring (Roshydromet) Alexander Frolov, the major cold fronts pass over the Urals and southern Siberia. “There will be periods of prolonged cold weather and periods of thaw. The largest core of the cold will occur in the vast territory is the Urals and the south of the Siberian Federal District”, – said the chief meteorologist Russia.

According to the academician Melnikov, this forecast Roshydromet no nothing abnormal, if we take into account that the planet is entering a cold climatic cycle. “I have in my life is influenced by a third climatic cycle. So, I was born at the end of a warm cycle, then survived in Yakutia entire cold cycle, which lasted until the 1980s, then relived warm cycle and is now re-entering the cold cycle. From his personal experience of life, I can say that people such cycles are experiencing calm the immune system of a person accustomed to such fluctuations, “- said Vladimir Melnikov.

The cold snap in the global warming

US scientists agree with the Russian colleagues about the upcoming cold weather. True experts from the United States argue that it takes place against the backdrop of global warming. This conclusion is contained in a study prepared by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, with the participation of several dozen scientists from different countries. Melnikov agree with them – cooling 1.5-2 degrees, most likely will not affect the process of global warming.

According to the doctor of biological sciences, a specialist of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Ural Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences Raşit Hantemirova, plants and animals have not yet felt the impact of cold climatic cycle, which says the academician. “The data obtained from the study of tree rings, say that the last century was the warmest in the last several thousand years. In the world over the last century warmed a little less than one degree,” – he said.

The scientist hopes that the cold spell will be short, and not ruin the processes that have occurred over the past 100 years due to global warming. “From the XIV century on the territory of Russia came medieval ice age. He became the coldest average annual temperature for the last 2 thousand years. For example, there is documentary evidence that in 1612 the Moscow River is completely frozen in August.” According to Melnikov, “this cycle stretched for centuries. Every century air teplel and temperature continuously aligned & lt; … & gt; winters became milder, and summer – are increasingly abnormally hot. The last reminder of medieval ice age about to disappear after 50 years “.

The scientist stressed that” a substantial change in the global climate change has not happened yet “.

Winter is not scheduled

Scientists predict this year are already confirmed in practice. Thus, winter had not come on schedule in the Omsk region. During the night on October 22 in the region has dropped about 20-22 mm of rain. On the central streets of the city cars in the morning rush hour moving at walking pace, and the sidewalks were formed snowdrifts. The flight did not come out of the public transport. Standing in a traffic jam on the snowy tracks even trams.

The situation is complicated, and the collision of vehicles on the roads. According to the testimony of citizens in social networks, many motorists do not have time to change the wheel during the winter, and in the number of accidents on icy roads has increased dramatically.

Then, a strong cyclone spread in the Amur region, which has already brought 27 October snowstorm. Because of the snowfall a flight from Moscow, was detained for three hours and a half, the second on the hour. According to the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the region, all the forces and means of the Amur regional territorial subsystems SPARES were transferred on high alert because of the sudden onset of winter.

Then, the snow suddenly fell on Moscow. On the night of November 15, he made adjustments to the airports of the capital. The situation is worst situation was in Sheremetyevo: delays flew 26 aircraft, one flight was canceled. Also late 13 sorties were carried out, one more flight on the flight decided to cancel. The cleaning of city streets has been involved up to 7.5 thousand units of equipment.

In Kolyma coming of winter indicated in reports of incidents possible avalanches. This risk appeared to Magadan suburban areas due to heavy snowfall that raged in the region since 15 November. In connection with the passage of the cyclone on the territory of Magadan were canceled school classes of the first shift 1 to 4 class.
