It's no question that some countries benefit immensely from global warming. Russia's gains in particular are incredible: unblocking of their naval fleet, easy transportation (water is vastly superior to land), reconnection of eastern and western Russia, easy access to massive amounts of new resources, increase in stable and dwellable land. It's insane how much they stand to gain.
"Hmmmm, what if we cause global warming and melt the ice". It's been a plot all along.
