“Russian and American scientists have demonstrated for the first time that the world’s largest lake, located in frigid Siberia, has warmed rapidly over the past half century, at a rate almost three times that of the average global air temperature. The findings are consistent with additional signs that this remote region is responding strongly to global warming.”
“Using cutting-edge statistical analysis, the authors detail the effects of climate change in the world’s largest lake – from warming of its vast waters to reorganization of its microscopic food web. “Warming of this isolated but enormous lake is a clear signal that climate change has affected even the most remote corners of our planet,”
