<p>I think that global warming will have no winners. The climate has already changed, and we can see the consequences. There are a lot of people who still deny that fact, but it happens. Some countries suffer from droughts, fires, and floods. From one side, it may be because of the geographical location, but it happens so often lately, and it's so widespread, so it's not only location.</p>
<p>The rise of temperature will be different in parts of the planet; some people will feel it more, some less. The same with temperature impact on flora, fauna, etc.</p>
<p>I don't want to write a lot, but we have to remember that we live on one planet. Everything is connected, even if it's not obvious. Global warming may affect one part of the world, a few countries, but those countries are connected to another. And these another to another.</p>
<p>Yesterday I finished a small paper on that theme and did a research. I read different information, research, articles, and paper examples on <a href="https://paperap.com/free-papers/global-warming/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://paperap.com/free-papers/global-warming/</a>, and all that info I found proved to me once again that global warming is a danger. And people may think differently, but I'm writing what I think about all that.</p>

Yes, we are highly dependent on international trade; very few nations (maybe none now) can sustain an advanced industrialised economy without it. The problems in one part of the world don't stay confined there - eg current global energy crisis. And if the "best" place to be in a globally warmed world becomes the favored destination for tens of millions of climate refugees? Sustaining good governance - or introducing it - may be more important than any direct climate impacts.

<p>As a person living in Russia, I always had mixed feelings when hearing appeals to fight global warming. On the one hand, I completely understand that it is going to be a disaster for lots of people. On the other hand (a more egoistic one), it seems like it would be good for my country if the temperature would rise by a few degrees. The average temperature will become more comfortable for living in most Russian cities and Siberia may become more habitable. However, I might be overlooking some effects like coastal area flooding, damage to infrastructure or changes in flora or fauna.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-04-19)

As a person living in Russia, I always had mixed feelings when hearing appeals to fight global warming. On the one hand, I completely understand that it is going to be a disaster for lots of people. On the other hand (a more egoistic one), it seems like it would be good for my country if the temperature would rise by a few degrees. The average temperature will become more comfortable for living in most Russian cities and Siberia may become more habitable. However, I might be overlooking some effects like coastal area flooding, damage to infrastructure or changes in flora or fauna.

This makes me wonder, **who might actually win from the global warming?** Is it just all cold countries (Russia, Canada, Scandinavian states, Iceland, etc.), or only part of them, or maybe everyone will lose?

Parts of Russia might win, but other parts will lose.

If you accept what is presented in [this news item](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-11-07/a-father-and-son-s-ice-age-plot-to-slow-siberian-thaw/100600570), parts of Siberia are already experiencing global warming, with permafrost no longer existent in parts of Yakutia, particularly near Chersky, 130 km south of Russia's Arctic coast.

With the loss of permafrost soil develops voids and collapses, with disastrous results for buildings and other infrastructure (pipelines and roads, airports, etc.).
