High latitude countries may see some positive benefits as a result of climate change, particularly in their agricultural sectors. As winters begin soften, their growing seasons will lengthen and land will become sustainable for farming. Its for that reason that Russia, for example, has been largely quiet on the subject of climate change.
That said, it's not expected that those benefits will outweigh the wider economic problems climate change is likely to present.
