Russian scientists have built a computer model which helped them to predict the possible cataclysms in nearest future. The results they got were far from optimistic. For example according to the model Russian winters are going to be very severe, and more than that numerous earthquakes could occur, also such events as aircraft crashes seem very possible.
The cause for all those negative predictions is a temperature growth on the Earth. Those conclusions have a firm scientific base underneath: scientists built a lot of computer models for the last few years, trying to understand what influence on atmosphere causes “greenhouse gases” and “greenhouse effect” in general.
