I recall watching a documentary in the 00s where someone claimed to be buying land in Russia specifically because of this.
- hnburnsy 6y agoCould be the plot for the next James Bond movie, I think they have had movies where the villian is trying to corner the market in oil, gold, water, media, space, etc. Maybe cornering the market in frozen tundra could be the next villainous objective.

- blaser-waffle 6y agoNot someone buying land, Russian Oligarchs who already own it. They're cool (har har) with global warming because it lets them use whole swaths of land and get easy access to resources -- otherwise most of Russia is just frozen tundra. Who cares if a bunch of Indian coastal cities get flooded if you have a breadbasket and tons of oil?
