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.
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.

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
