- dsizzle 4y agoIt seems Siberia is one of the places where living conditions might actually improve https://eos.org/articles/climate-change-could-make-siberia-an-attractive-place-to-live https://eos.org/articles/climate-change-could-make-siberia-a... (the "big bog" scenario does cast doubt on that -- e.g. existing structures may collapse).
- sobkas 4y agoThere are sinkholes appearing due to permafrost melting and ice keeps ground solid, otherwise there would be mud(and sinkholes) all over the place.
- TaylorAlexander 4y agoMy point is that when we as outsiders look at this practice and evaluate its merits, we should care about the carbon emissions even if the people there don’t.

- _0w8t 4y agoFor a guy in Siberia various climate models show that the global warming will improve life. Winters will be much milder, agriculture will be less risky.
