Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
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.
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.
oh damn playing in the snow just got wayyyyy more dangerous
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
makes sense, they used to be one contiguous biome
