Don't Panic! Russian fires not result of global warming
Swathes of central Russia are still in flames - with firefighters tackling hundreds of new fires every day. But, are the Russian wildfires evidence of climate change? Patrick Michaels, Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute and climate change skeptic says no. Michaels argued that the increased temperatures in Russia are merely one weather event and cannot be related to global warming. The earth is warmer than it has been in the past, but this does not mean we are facing an apocalyptic climate scenario.
