if florida going underwater is attractive for america, then the world is *literally* fucked
Maybe this is what they will go for to screw over Russia's export of fossils. That's a complicated thing.
power comes with economic hegemony, and the key to economic hegemony in the coming decades is green tech exports
they dont have to burn the world to screw russia
russia BENEFITS from climate change
it would be handing the world to russia *on a platter* to burn up the world
Well, Russia would benefit from getting more livable territory, which is in excess even now. How would it benefit otherwise?
Russia lives on export of fossils. It has nothing else.
russia gets to use the arctic
for shipping
mining/oil
but also they get more farmland
theyll get loads of immigrants to fill up their capacities too
As far as I remember, farmlands are worthless and oil is a fossil.
so they would quite literally become a superpower
whereas right now
theyre down towards the bottom of the "great powers" list
how can farmland be worthless in an era of perpetual food and water crises?
the whole issue with climate change is the terrible damage it will do to food production worldwide
creating shortages everywhere
they are?
haha, idk
putin does recognise climate change is a big issue, but idk if hes doing anything about it
he might be
this same argument applies for all the nordic countries btw
but they went super green already
even though climate change will benefit them, they went green before the US, *who will not benefit*
Just checked it. It seems like Putin denies humanity being responsible for it.
wtf
i swear i saw him saying its a big issue
At least he did in 2017. "We can't affect it, but we can adapt".
yea youre right
I almost feel like...

it looks like a political move
but yea, its right in line with russia's interests to be like this
Only if farmland actually goes up in value. Right now Russia is throwing it around like it's nothing.
