It's hard to adapt when you're the major contributor to the problem
drinking the man did it kool aid
the earth is the cause
new mineral resources within reach
Of course, along with us heavily influencing it. Nobody has ever said humans are the sole purpose of climate change. At least dumb people are finally coming around to accepting it's happening instead of outright denial. Commendable

Russian cities look mad depressing goddamn. Who can look at grey skies and rusting industrial sites all day?

Pollution[edit]
Nickel ore is smelted on site at Norilsk. The smelting is directly responsible for severe pollution, generally acid rain and smog. By some estimates, 1 percent of global emissions of sulfur dioxide comes from Norilsk's nickel mines.[15] Heavy metal pollution near Norilsk is so severe that mining the surface soil is now economically feasible due to the soil acquiring such high concentrations of platinum and palladium.[16]
The Blacksmith Institute included Norilsk in its 2007 list of the ten most polluted places on Earth.[17] The list cites air pollution by particulates (including radioisotopes strontium-90, and caesium-137 and metals nickel, copper, cobalt, lead and selenium) and by gases (such as nitrogen and carbon oxides, sulfur dioxide, phenols and hydrogen sulfide). The Institute estimates four million tons of cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, arsenic, selenium and zinc are released into the air every year.[18]
The Russian Federal State Statistics Service named Norilsk the most polluted city in Russia. In 2010, Norilsk produced 1.924 million tons of carbon pollutants, nearly six times more than the 333 thousand tons generated by Russia's second most polluted city, Cherepovets.[19]
According to an April 2007 BBC News report,[20] Norilsk Nickel accepted responsibility for what had happened to the forests, and insisted they were taking action to cut the pollution. For the period up to 2015–2020 the company expects to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by approximately two-thirds, but claims it is hard to guarantee this pace of reduction because they are still developing the technology.
In September 2016, images surfaced on social media of the nearby Daldykan River which had been turned red. Russia's Environment Ministry issued a statement claiming that preliminary evidence pointed towards wastewater pipes from a nearby smelting plant owned by Norilsk Nickel.[21]

I remember looking at tv shows in the 90s about construction in Siberia and northern russia not needing real foundations, and just building on the frozen ground.
Guess it shows you how stupid that was in retrospect

Geography, climate, and natural environment[edit]
Norilsk is the world's northernmost city with more than 100,000 inhabitants and the second largest city (after Murmansk) inside the Arctic Circle. Norilsk, Yakutsk and Vorkuta are the only large cities in thecontinuous permafrost zone. It lies between Taymyrsky Dolgano-Nenetsky District to the north, andTurukhansky District to the south. Norilsk has an extremely harsh subarctic climate (Köppen Dfc), and is covered with snow for about 250–270 days a year, with snow storms for about 110–130 days. The "midnight sun" is above the horizon from 21 May to 24 July, and the period when the sun does not rise,polar night, is from approximately 30 November to 13 January. Temperatures can sometimes rise above 25 °C (77 °F) in July.
Much of the surrounding areas are naturally treeless tundra. Only a few trees exist in Norilsk.
