There are quite a few Russian analysts which believe Russia will gain from climate change (unblocked Northern route, more workable soil, lower heating expenditures). Don't expect any help from Russia on this.

Many of these examples aren't really in C but in C-like pseudo-code. In that domain they are perfectly accurate. Even in C, 'int' bitlength is defined by the implementation. int only needs to be 16 bits or more, but it could
