    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

          Interesting. I believe Canada is also similarly fucked or even worse, as their land will thaw into disease ridden stony swamps
