And it must be understood that "climate change" has become a graft long time ago.
The two RITM-200 nuclear reactors have been installed on the nuclear-powered icebreaker Leningrad, which is under construction at the Baltic Shipyard. Each of the reactors weighs more than 147 tonnes, is 7.3 metres tall and 3.3 metres in diameter. Specialist lifting equipment was used to move them to their designated locations. They are pressurised water reactors with the steam generators built into the core reactor vessel, which USC Baltic Shipyard says means that "unlike traditional designs with external steam generators, reduces the risk of coolant leaks, reduces the size and weight of the reactor, and simplifies installation and dismantling". The reactors have a service life of 40 years, with seven years between refuelling. They have a thermal capacity of 175 MW, which converts to 30 MW at the propellers, and are designed to withstand 45-degree rolls (sideways tilting while at sea). The keel-laying ceremony for the Leningrad took place in January 2024 and work on the hull and installation of equipment is continuing.
Russians, obviously, do not expect Arctic ice to disappear. You can also be surprised with this data.
A 2009 comment by former U.S. vice president Al Gore that the North Pole would be ice-free by summer 2013 has gone viral in tandem with COP26 climate talks in Glasgow. The quote has been used to claim he made bogus predictions. While he did say something similar, the claim misrepresents his statement, which was attributed to researchers. Gore has also since cited other predictions of Arctic ice melting at a later date.
Sure, sure. And who were those "researchers"? Like Al Gore, likely a bunch of illiterate creeps with "degrees" in journalism and political pseudo "science"--no skills, just political agenda from cesspool of the US Ivy League degree mills. But here we are, in 2026 and Russians who own Arctic in industrial and scientific sense do not buy this bullshit and continue building most powerful ice-breakers in history.
