@@zaobyraymond5811 It's actually less convenient. There's a lot of narrow area to traverse that can be controlled by NATO nations, and a lot of what Russia exports is natural resources produced closer to the northern ports (with more northern resources made accessible by climate change), so Russia would actually prefer to use those northern ports. Particularly now that it won't be exporting to Europe for quite a while after the war it started since your post. Note that it ALREADY has northern ports. What climate change will do before NEED is needed is make them open year-round. We're already seeing shipping routes through the arctic open year-round.

@@bearcubdaycare If the Ukrainian estimate for how many they destroyed is accurate, Russia still has roughly 90% of its tanks. That said, most of those were in storage at the beginning of the war. Given the reports of Soviet-era tanks being used, I'm guessing a lot of those tanks aren't exactly modern. But while Russia might be running down its best conventional military equipment, the reason Putin feels bold enough to burn down his own house while standing in it is because the nuclear threat means nobody will invade Russia. The only thing that will make Russia cease to exist will be a civil war, which hasn't yet shown signs of forming. Some want Putin ousted, but they just want Russia to continue under less warmongering leadership.

Just some food for thought. And I’d love to debate this topic.

I saw some videos on the water crisis recently and found out that some countries use desalination of ocean water to counter this problem but a big drawback was brine as the waste product since it pollutes the seawater and harms marine life. So if these dams are built and the north sea becomes a freshwater sea which is harmful to its marine life. Would the discharge of brine from the countries that produce it slows down the process and also provide a proper place for discharge of brine?

Shame it would get colder and drier if something like this were built..... Currents branching off from the Gulf Stream and entering the North Sea from the North are VERY significant in keeping the climate of North Western Europe warmer and wetter than it should be. You shut those currents off and you will create a colder, drier climate. So not ONLY are you willing to completely cripple North Western European Maritime Trade, which still accounts for a very significant portion of Danish Trade I may point out, not only would you like to see the utter destruction of two ecosystems in their entirety (the North and Baltic Sea) for land that would likely not be useable for decades at least and centuries in more realistic terms, but you want much colder, drier conditions as well..... Nice job....
