I love how they've been peddling the "warm water port" thing since the cold war. Soviets were somehow always expanding in order to get that holy land of a "warm water port" and if they got it they would take over the world.
Now it turn out that the port was in ukraine the whole time! Dummy Soviets, you should have looked in your own country!
It's the "the jews/christians and muslims have been fighting since time immemorial in Israel" lazy explanation to all conflict in a region customized for Russia (which is a frozen hellscape filled with gulags desperately thirsting for some warm water in the liberal mind).
Except for the random explosions from methane pockets under the permafrost. Saw an interview of some siberians and they were like "oh yeah we hear massive explosions all the time from climate change, hope I'm not walking somewhere when one happens". Said they hear one every week
I also recall one study suggesting that the 'new' soil in Russia will not be arable and would need imported fertilizers to make any use of it.
Sure you aren't mixing this up with Canada/Greenland? It was my understanding that the soil in the tundra regions of Canada was extremely poor and useless for agriculture, while Russia's was qualitatively different and easier to farm in
Though climate change will expand arable land in Russia in its northern latitudes, the northern topsoil tends to be thinner and more acidic than in Russia's most productive southern regions and would not make up for its losses. In fact, arable land shrank by more than half to just 120,000 acres in 2017.

In fairness, climate change is something of a game changer
Honestly, I think it just accelerates the class war. Everyone knows they'll be on borrowed time, and the effects are already hurting us.
I more meant in terms of Russia's access to fresh water ports. They're really in the catbird seat as the planet incinerates itself.
oh damn I thought this was a different post lol. You are correct, climate change actually helps russia more than hinders, in the short term anyway.

oh damn playing in the snow just got wayyyyy more dangerous

Interesting. I believe Canada is also similarly fucked or even worse, as their land will thaw into disease ridden stony swamps
makes sense, they used to be one contiguous biome
October Revolution island will actually be a nice place to live soon
Dw all of north Russia will soon be filled with warm water ports
