Russia’s export plan

WITH climate change, the area where wheat can be grown is going to increase markedly.

A lot of this new fertile area is going to be in Russia.

Russia is a big exporter of oil and gas and they don’t care much about climate change – they just want the petro-dollars.

They sell the fossil fuels, the world burns them, the world heats up, and there is chaos in some countries as more people in Africa try to flee to Europe to escape the ravages of impossible heat.

Meanwhile, more wheat can be grown in Russian lands. But how to export this?

Maybe this is why Putin wanted to seize the Black Sea ports of Ukraine. He was looking at future food exports and wanted the best route to get the grain out.

This could possibly be a factor behind his illegal and brutal invasion.
