After the Krushnev era, a radical new idea came as to how to increase agricultural production,
make the climate better.
By 1968, submarine exploration had revealed the presence of massive amounts of methane trapped under the arctic ocean.
1969: The Politurbo gives authorisation to the project. A great number of "old" thermonuclear bombs (most still powerfull enough to completely level London or Washington in a single blast) are drafted and modified.
In the summer of 1970, over 200 "old" H bombs are detonated in the Arctic Ocean (among which at least several dozens Tsar Bomba models

), the entire world is surprised at the strange tests. Much complaints among the hippies and the counter-cultural movements. Some claimes it is not a classical test but an attempt at climatic manipulation
Winter of 1970-1971 is already slightly warmer than normal, the following year the Arctic ice sheet almost completely breakes down releasing even more methane and green-house gases. Agricultural production is reported approximatively 25% higher, despite some negative effects.
1972: climate warming continues, existing agricultural regions produces more, plans for farming in southern Siberia are made. Arctic ocean is completely ice-free during the summer, 1/3 less permafrost territories.
1973: Agriculture in souther Siberia becomes possible. Northern regions are prooved to benefite greatly from the Change.
1974: Canada begin its own agricultural projects.
1975: Global warming starts to cause concernes, Greenland´s ice is starting to melt at an accelerated rate. Sea levels have risen by 20-30 centimeters since 1970.
Climate change and the speed of it have prooven to have some negative effects but these are outweighted by the beneficies, especially for the soviet-union.
1975-1977: Global warming panic in North America and in a lesser measure, europe, with catastrophe scenarios given much media attentions.
Populist governement takes power in the US, the new US president cleverly exploits fears of global warming for his own benefice, along with that of a number of his backers.
1978-1980: The climate keeps getting warmer, some countries suffer massively but the apocalyptic scenarios occures. The new controversial governement of the US falls.
By 1981 onward, more and more people start considering the soviet project a mixed blessing.
In the US, the "Global Warming Apocalypse Swindle" have cost the people several trillions to crooked capitalists.
Ecopurists uproare continues but looses it´s influence on governement policies despite the Democrats taking back the White House.
