"DOOMED!"

Large parts of Asian Russia could become habitable by the late 21st century due to climate change, new research has found.
A study team from the Krasnoyarsk Federal Research Center, Russia, and the National Institute of Aerospace, USA, used current and predicted climate scenarios to examine the climate comfort of Asian Russia and work out the potential for human settlement throughout the 21st century.
They published their results today in Environmental Research Letters.
At 13 million square kilometres Asian Russia -- east of the Urals towards the Pacific -- accounts for 77 per cent of Russia's land area. Its population, however, accounts for just 27 per cent of the country's people and is concentrated along the forest-steppe in the south, with its comfortable climate and fertile soil.
"Previous human migrations have been associated with climate change. As civilisations developed technology that enabled them to adapt, humans became less reliant on the environment, particularly in terms of climate," said the study's lead author Dr Elena Parfenova, from the Krasnoyarsk Federal Research Center.
"We wanted to learn if future changes in climate may lead to the less-hospitable parts of Asian Russia becoming more habitable for humans."

It was actually a “land bridge” which was several hundred miles wide and existed for hundreds of years. It was formed when sea levels declined during the last ice age. There was a period of time when it was warmer in that region than it is currently, but sea levels were still much lower than they are now. People followed edible wild life and vegetation from Asia to North America and then went further and further South.
Absolutely not....climate change can never ever be good....like abortion can never ever be bad.
“Remember DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!”
That reminds me of a story some friends of ours told us about when they moved to Australia. As the ship they were on got closer to shore they were amazed by the friendly crowds waving at the new arrivals. When they got in closer than that the swarms of mosquitoes started attacking them as well. They realized that people were not waving at all just trying to defend themselves from the bugs.
They said that the place that they moved to had hoards of huge spiders that helped to keep the mosquitoes and flies under control but sometimes also caused painful bites and scared the crap out of them.

I take it you would not have been one of the guys in a covered wagon heading for the wild west.
The point is that it would no longer be suffering under extreme cold and permafrost!
That's why the article is titled: Could climate change make Siberia more habitable?
"More habitable" = comfortable - or at least no more miserable than, say, Minnesota.

It’s Mars with a breathable Atmosphere.
Youre quite the salesman!! Ill take it! (If it wasn’t in Russia.)
Nothing wrong with warm weather.
This from me who use to live in Minnesota and left to find warmer weather in the winter months.
Indeed I vacationed in Canada once seen huge flys some even had landing lights.
Beautiful place but you have to be on your toes with all the critters.
NO!!! IF, so-called “climate change” even existed, and IF it were a man-made thing, it would ONLY have a NEGATIVE impact on the world!! No good whatsoever could possibly come from it!!
I would have been on the ship down to Panama...done the railway to the Pacific side, and then rode the ship up to San Francisco.
I’ve been saying this for years
What kills ? Cold or heat ?
Where do people live ? South or north ?
Perfect place for all those who hate trump
When their 40 days a year above freezing increases to 60, watch out!
