For a guy in Siberia various climate models show that the global warming will improve life. Winters will be much milder, agriculture will be less risky.
My understanding is that this isn't true, because Siberia's muskeg soil isn't very suitable for growing things, whether frozen or not. (Same with northern Canada. Muskeg and mosquitos are why northern Ontario has never been settled.)
My point is that when we as outsiders look at this practice and evaluate its merits, we should care about the carbon emissions even if the people there don’t.
> Do you really think anyone in Siberia, one if the poorest places in the world, cares about carbon emissions?
Unfortunately they care. For now only poor face real consequences of climate change. They are to poor to mitigate its effects.
