The immediate concern for them is melting of the permafrost in northern Siberia, which is already happening. This could cause collapses of entire cities, industrial/mining complexes, pipelines etc. This process will take decades, so can be potentially planned for, but Russian rulers aren't known for being long-term thinkers.
- mlatu 4y ago"Russian rulers" why the plural? it has been this one singular dude for quite some time XD and that contradicts (i mean, not contradict, but like... who are you talking about?) your "not known for being long-term thinkers". i dont think we know what putin is scheming i admit that my what-if-s are not helpful, but it doesnt look to me like he is concerned of global warming at all. and this article here makes me think that might be no coincidence.
