    Duh, but Russia and China appear to be betting it will benefit them and you can’t convince them otherwise.

      China has mythology about dynasties causing natural disasters through bad policies that disrupt the environment, and Pooh bear is changing his tone since the crazy series of natural disasters China has been having… They got a lot of flak for mishandling them, and, since finding out their military is in no shape to invade Taiwan, they’re trying to show they can change before they get ousted

      Russia was an economy the size of Mexico, before the latest sanctions hit (and we started investing in Mexican production to get away from China). They might be right - they’re pretty far north, and they’d probably benefit from global upheaval - they have much less to lose, especially the regime (which is on very shaky footing due to Ukraine)

      2024 has been a hell of a year. Russia is in no place to care about the long term, and the CCP could fall if they don’t reform by the people’s demands… The world is changing

      We need to prepare, the adversaries have turned out to be toothless, but climate change is already here

        CCP is in for real problems population wise. You never want to have 2x as many retired people as you have working and they’re basically heading for that.

      If any country stands to benefit from global warming it’s probably Russia tbh. China, I really doubt it though.
