Tibetan Plateau is turning green

Despite hazards of global warming, 'ecology improving'

The Tibetan Plateau is turning green, as the high altitude amplifies the effects of global warming, according to a climate change report published on Wednesday by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

According to the report, the average temperature on the Tibetan Plateau increased 1.5 to 2 C over the past half-century, twice the world's average rate of increase.
