The temperature increase in the western part of the Russian Arctic by the end of the XXI century may range from 6 to 10 degrees, winter will become shorter and permafrost will disappear in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, the press service of the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the Russian Academy of Sciences reported.
"The analysis made it possible to draw conclusions about significant climate change in the studied region, in particular, the amount of precipitation has increased, and there has been an accelerated increase in temperature. Moreover, in the next 30 years this warming will continue and will amount to 2-3 degrees, depending slightly on the scenario of greenhouse gas emissions," the message says.
The so-called "Arctic intensification" of warming is manifested in the fact that the temperature in the Arctic is growing faster than the average on the planet, nauka.tass.ru reports.
