and Europe has a much bigger problem with flooding. Lemme just recap the tantrum:
Yes, but some areas get hurt worse by climate change. Yes, it's not flat warming all at once. However both of these things fuck Europe over more than Russia. The AMOC gulf stream keeps Europe warm, not Russia. The entire Mediterranean is also going to be hurt particularly bad by droughts and wildfires. So that's a ton more refugees, not only from outside Europe but even from Southern Europe.
These problems simply do not exist for Russia, and its population density is far lower, and it will gain continents' more arable/habitable land as the climate warms, AND it will also receive more rainfall. It is not even close to a contest to say that Russia benefits more from climate change than any other nation on earth. If you don't think so, then post even one climate-induced problem that's unique to Russia (you can't)
that's absolutely not what happened lmfao
go defend russia with your body sis
I literally don't care about Russia. Also get your tenses right, none of this shit happened yet. But 50 different climate models predict it to
Are you actually retarded?
This is what happened
jokes about Russian ports
you begin flailing your arms, shidding, crying and cumming about Russia
also simp fuckin harder.
So let's break it down. First of all Russia has been saying for a decade that they'll use climate change to their advantage, this is called PROPAGANDA. Because it just isn't true or possible.
Let's check.
Permafrost releasing Anthrax and causing infrastructure to literally fall apart? What do you do when the ground melts below you??

On top of that Russia is heating 2.5 times faster than the rest of the world. So much so that entire villages are lost to flooding in Siberia. Russia also will only face more and more wildfires as temperatures increase and the conifer trees will be forced to retreat north.
You mentioned them gaining more land to farm, untrue. Russia's breadbasket is the case because of the soil. The soil they'd get from thawing will actually reduce the amount of useable land. Why? Because the soil in the north is acidic as fuck and not great for crops especially the ones Russia tends to grow.
Excluding all of that. Climate change will increase the amount of fighting in the world which Russia kind of fuckin sucks at. Famines will happen, droughts will happen, heatwaves will happen, insects will swarm and flooding will increase (snow/ice melt doesn't matter about the elevation like you stupidly and oh so ignorantly suggested)
So basically you just don't know what you're talking about and trying to push old Russian propaganda that they'll use climate change to their benefit. Literally the lessening dependency on oil is leaving Russia in a bind right now and shit barely began.
Go be stupid somewhere else now.
not reading this sorry
Cause you know you're wrong as fuck now go be stupid somewhere else
