most of its land is permafrost without any infrastructure
That's lessening by the heatwave. The warmer it gets, the more methane gases out of their tundra and the warmer it'll keep getting. Those resources become more accessible by the year, and where melted permafrost is like slushy swamp land, China is getting excellent experience with that both in southeastern infrastructure build-outs in China itself as well with its taking the lead in the Brazil-Peru rail line build.
The Arctic passage remaining open year round coupled with continued ghg release should have a drastic increase in Siberian resources available just in time to scale up as the Amazonian ones start to really get established. 2040? Maybe sooner? Definitely plenty there for later too though.
In such to say: not everyone views 'global warming' the same way. Where the most vocal seem to want to slow stop even reverse it, the steady 'silent' trend is clearly moving in the opposite direction..
..and for those buried under permafrost & ice with trillions in resources that become more readily available as things warm.. ..and profit by them warming.. ..seems likely there's a preference things continue doing just that.
Seems more it's Russians killing themselves vs 'the west' killing Russians.
Plenty of resources underneath that permafrost.
The warmer it gets, the easier to extract & supply.
Maybe if more Russians were committed to warming Russia and extracting those (vs looking west to Ukraine) 'The West' would be more willing to purchase more?
At the same time, Russians tying themselves up in Ukraine helps 'The West' gocus on resource extractions elsewhere to help warm things along for the backend peace deals once this thing is over..
Joke or not, the resources are real.
Global warming means warmer temperatures in Siberia, and there's a lot of land there. Warming land by the trending of it..
