Still, Germany is the country that restarted its coal-fired plants when the first pain hit them. You can imagine how economically backward the global south is when they still have yet to see the basics of life that we take for granted. How do we ask them to tighten their belts? That's another thing.
You mentioned ArcticNet. I was looking at their website, and they collaboratively work with international research teams from Denmark, Finland and Spain. There's no mention of Russia or China. Maybe it's a new thing that they have taken them out. You also mentioned the loss of data. That is very important.
In the Cold War, I think there was some sort of collaboration among the scientists and researchers from the U.S.S.R. and the western bloc. Do you think there's any possibility of something like that happening? I ask because the Arctic is too important.
