When the Arctic is ice free....Who might benefit?

[Thunderbeast]

As the dictator of the world's largest gas station, who do you suppose benefits most from climate change? An ice-free Arctic opens vast new oil deposits to exploitation (using proprietary ExxonMobil technology). If the sea lanes are open year-round, Russia has economical means of transporting goods and materials from east to west.

Killing the Paris accord, and (as a Texas legislator suggested) leaving the global warming solution "in the hands of God" creates huge advantages for Russia, now, and in the future.

Economic problem is that they've never had enough long summers to grow enough food for their population.

3. Something I've believed for a while now. They are greedily eyeing an ice-free arctic.

Money and greed makes people insane. It really is a sickness. Billions and trillions are not enough for them.

4. Russia of course

Trump is Putin's useful idiot.
