There are already the first victims of this poisonous spider - died calf. Fortunately, poison tarantula not dangerous to humans - pain from the bite of a hornet and swelling appears.
Climatologists say further climate warming will lead to the fact that almost in all territory of the country may wind up not only poisonous spiders, and Scorpions, rattlesnakes and even mosquitoes. "And it already threatens least cholera and other tropical diseases, " says the expert on climate change Andriy Martynyuk. - Such precedents already in Germany. Therefore, we must prepare for the invasion of insects that carry the infection, now." Undergo changes and flora.

Hogweed is very poisonous, after contact with him are painful burns on the body," says Martynyuk. According to him, the rush to adapt to climate needs and farmers: "it Is necessary to select new varieties of crops - wheat, corn and others who would stand high temperature. Otherwise, we're going to get rich harvest, as before".

It is likely that we can completely disappear winter climate, that is, when for several months kept the temperature is below zero, - said Today the head of the meteorology Tatyana Adamenko. Fortunately, in parallel with the higher temperatures we have seen, in particular, in the South of the country, increases in precipitation. That is, we are not threatened that the South will turn into a desert. There are formed favorable conditions for growing some exotic cultures, for example, bananas, dates, aloe. Such experiments have already been successful at private traders in the Crimea. But the climate may soon be allowed to put them in more Northern regions".
According to her, if moisture is enough, then in the near future, you might think about olive groves: "But as long as you can take part in traditional for our territory crops and to harvest twice a year, as in the South. For example, the same potatoes. As many of culture we have in recent years to Mature faster and freed the square again for planting. And precipitation enough to fall again to get the harvest."
