MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. Climate warming in Russia is occurring at a faster rate than the global average, Roman Vilfand, lead researcher of the Russian Hydrometeorological Center, told TASS.

"Global warming has its own spatial and temporal peculiarities. Russia is warming much faster than the global average," he said.

"The average annual temperature in the temperate latitudes of Eurasia, where we live, is rising 2.5 times faster than the global average," Vilfand added.
