Russian Ministry of Natural Resources wants a global climate model

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is to develop a global climate matrix to help authorities to measure the effects of global warming and natural disasters. A ministry official told Izvestia: “Essentially, we will get threshold safety values for sharp climatic changes. It is not so much about global warming as it is about the chance to streamline economic processes and substantiate investments in efforts to prevent disasters. The matrix will take almost everything into account: diseases, death rate, droughts, fires and environmental imbalances.”
