Medvedev noted that «we understand very well that objectively climate changes are happening. «We don't know how often they happen, because a person lives too little. It is likely that 500 years ago the climate was different — there was almost no information left from that time. And ten thousand years ago — even more , ice age. But the climate is changing, and this cannot be ignored, because it affects our lives,» the deputy head of the Security Council notes. for the life of a very large number of people, I'm not talking about fauna and flora.
