No No No. We must portray any change as disastrous. IMPENDING DOOM! Must not mention that vast chunk of real estate in the northern hemisphere stretching from Scandinavia heading east all the way to Greenland that could do with a bit of warming.

Must not mention the greening of the earth and higher crop yields due to more carbon in the atmosphere.

Must not mention that past warming periods have been associated with human flourishing.

Remember DOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!

I see the line of reasoning as follows:

1) The usual suspects in the West scream about climate change.

2) The Russians, who owe nothing to the usual suspects, decide to run the numbers given by said usual suspects to see what it would mean for Russia.

3) Results published in the West. Hilarity ensues.

Waitaminnit. Waitaminnit. Waitaminnit!

In the northern hemisphere, permafrost covers an estimated 9 million square miles —nearly the size of the United States, China, and Canada combined. Think Greenland. Think the Laurentian Shield in Canada.

Wouldn't it be nice to have that huge land mass --- 20 - 25% of the earth's land ---- available for logging, grazing, agriculture, and human habitation?

We are still in the midst of substantial unfinished business: thawing permafrost left over from the last period of global glaciation. In other words, we're not yet quite out of the last Ice Age.

Hey, Greenies! Ya like Green? Then would'ja please let dear Mother Earth --- and us --- finish the job?
