Let’s see about that paradise when the bacteria and other bad stuff in the permafrost gets unfrozen.
Let’s also see how people currently living in those areas feel about the “paradise” when everybody else who has the means will try to go there since it’s the only livable area.
Not to mention how “livable” it actually would be, with extreme weather, flooding from icecaps melting and other weather effects I have no idea about.
At this point the countries in temperate climates would seal their borders. The people living near the equator will become stuck, dependent on the the richer nations for their very survival. Once the effects of global warming began creeping up toward the United States and Europe, we will use our superior firepower to force an oil embargo on weaker nations.
It’s going to be fucked up and evil, but it’s unlikely to be uniformly bad for everyone. From an economic perspective, alot of people will benefit.
The wealth of industrialized nations is only possible through exploitation of developing countries. When conditions there become literally unlivable, everything collapses and everyone loses. maybe russia could slightly benefit since they aren’t doing super well as is and have a lot of land that will become pretty good. Even then, they can kiss goodbye to seafood forever, and it certainly won’t be easy.

Don’t forget about all the methane that will be released as it warms, accelerating climate change.
