Peskov: Russia has technologies to combat global warming
The Kremlin's official representative and the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for digital and technological development Dmitry Peskov, in an interview with TASS, called the benefits of global warming for Russia. In his opinion, it will contribute to the expansion of arable land and increase the cost of agricultural products.
“A large number of traditional places for the production of high-quality food will fall into the zone of climate change. This is beneficial for Russia in the long term, “Peskov explained.
He also stressed that the country has the technology to cope with global warming, so it will be difficult for the world community to cope without Moscow's participation. Among such technologies, Peskov mentioned the possibility of mass highly efficient CO2 capture and a system of closed carbon polygons.
At the same time, the special representative of the president noted that mistrust between the countries of the world plays a role in counteracting warming. “The situation with climate challenges extremely complicates the level of trust between countries. It is difficult for an ordinary person to answer the question, if we do not trust each other in the verification of vaccines, why should we trust in joint climate action, ”Peskov specified.
He spoke about the great potential of Russia in the fight against warming President Vladimir Putin. At the G20 summit in late October, he called on countries to increase absorption of greenhouse gases, and not only to reduce their emissions.
