elmo I wanted to insert a remark related to your comments on Siberia, one of the major problems they have in contrast let say to Brazil is the fact that the vast area is land locked and the climate has relative huge swings in temperatures around 20C on an intra-day basis and -40 in winter and +30 in summer.

On the other hand most of N. Argentina, Uruguay Paraguay and Brazil have much more temperate climate due to their closeness to the oceans which makes them agriculturally much more prosperous and of course central Brazil has the Amazons

Best look at the Lake Baikal region weather

I drove 600 km in Illinois/Wisconsin a few weeks ago. Drought wrecking 30% of corn crop. Lots of truck traffic and major highway widening/rebuilding. Brand new 90-turbine wind farm.

Also saw big forest fires in western USA east of Mount Hood (from plane window)...
