Greenpeace Russia: Siberian Wildfires Are Planetary Disaster
Grigory Kuksin, the head of Greenpeace Russia’s firefighting project, called wildfires in Siberia and the Far East a planetary-scale disaster.
Smoke from fires usually moves east
or north, but this time it is moving west. Thus, the smoke has engulfed
Siberian cities and has reached the Urals. The smell of burning
is reported in the Volga Region and Tatarstan.
The wind that changed its direction
is expected to bring the smoke to Kamchatka. It may even reach other
continents across the ocean, which means it will become
a planetary-scale disaster.
Kuksin believes that the smoke will
continue to affect the region for a few more weeks. Heavy rain is needed
to extinguish such a large fire, but no precipitation is expected.
The expert believes it necessary
to reconsider the area of control and implement special measures
to avoid similar situations in the future.
