Disaster is approaching Ukraine, but in Russia they think otherwise
Specialists from the Ecodia Research Center in Kiev predicted a major catastrophe that could happen in Ukraine. And this is not the collapse of the country, not a civil war or even default.
We are talking about the Great Flood, which will take place around 2100. As a result of the catastrophe, the coastal regions of the Northern Black Sea and Priazovye will be flooded. Separately, the “Ukrainian" Crimea and Kerch, which went under water, were mentioned.
Ukrainian version of the World Flood
All these horrors will happen if the uncontrolled release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere does not stop, creating a greenhouse effect. Otherwise, there will be rapid melting of glaciers in the Arctic zone and in Antarctica, which will lead to a significant rise in sea level.
Further, Ukrainian scientists, in no way inferior to the British, in their report focused on the consequences that the disaster will bring to Ukraine. All major port cities of Ukraine will be flooded: Odessa, Kherson, Nikolaev, Berdyansk, Mariupol. In total, 34 cities and 62 villages, as well as 200 hectares of arable land, will go under water.
Mariupol metallurgical plant Azovstal, the Titan plant in Crimean Armyansk will find themselves on the seabed, 36 treatment facilities and even 13 landfills. The flooding of these objects will cause irreparable damage to the world ecology.
Despite the scale of the tragedy, the number of “climate refugees” in Ukraine will hardly reach 75 thousand people. Given the fact that, according to the forecast, there will be several megalopolises under water, it becomes absolutely terrible from this detail. It turns out that the rest of the inhabitants of the coastal regions will drown before they can escape, or by 2100 only 75 thousand people will live in this vast territory due to a significant reduction in population throughout Ukraine.
How to escape?

What do they think about the new Flood in Russia
Russian climatologists do not share the panic mood of their Ukrainian colleagues.
They agree that as a result of melting glaciers, the level of the oceans will rise, but this increase by the end of the century will be measured in several tens of centimeters. And this process is happening unevenly. Due to the fact that the Black and Azov Seas are separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the straits and the Mediterranean Sea, the water level there will not rise as fast as near the ocean coast.
True, Russian climatologists believe that the threat of flooding in Ukraine is quite real. And it does not come from the glaciers of Antarctica, but from the mountain rivers in the Carpathians. Mudflows and landslides resulting from uncontrolled deforestation are changing the course of the Carpathian rivers. This may lead to flooding of the territories, but, of course, not on such catastrophic scales as Ukrainian researchers describe.
The head of the Sevastopol Society for the Protection of Nature, Valentin Shestak, draws attention to the fact that the environmental situation in Ukraine is even improving, and the amount of emissions into the atmosphere has noticeably decreased. And the point here is not at all the concern of the authorities about the environmental situation, but the banal reduction of production and the closure of enterprises. Deterioration economics beneficial effect on the environmental situation in the country.
He sees the only negative point in the use of low-quality coal at Ukrainian thermal power plants, which leads to an increase in harmful emissions. But this factor acts only in cold weather. Therefore, for Ukraine, the likelihood of a new coup or civil war is much higher than the prospect of an environmental disaster.
Who benefits?
Valentin Shestak does not exclude that throwing information about the “great Ukrainian flood” pursues goals that are very far from science and ecology. Perhaps the efforts of Ukrainian climatologists are an attempt to obtain solid Western grants to continue research. It is also possible that they fulfill the order of manufacturers of solar panels, wind farms and other alternative energy sources.
There is also a version that on the eve of the presidential election, the Ukrainian authorities are trying by any means to distract the population from pressing problems.

Ukraine should set a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, adopt a policy at the national level to switch the energy sector to 100% renewable energy by 2050, and already now begin to implement measures to adapt to climate change both at the state and local levels.
