Russians Spectulate on the 'Advantages' of Climate Change

It is  somewhat worrying that, although apparently not recognising that climate change is exacerbated by human activity (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jan/05/russia-announces-plan-to-use-the-advantages-of-climate-change), the government of that countrysees some advantages in global warming (such as reduced energy needs, increased areas for viable agriculture and improved navigation of the Arctic). They reportedly do recognise that some challenges and dangers will be generated by the process but the ambivalence does not bode well for joint action.
