Are there any (livable 🥺) countries that basically allow anyone to become a citizen? Specifically where an English speaker could get by.

    And it looks like Svalbard, in particular, is warming up quickly.

    The consensus is that the temperature in Svalbard has jumped 4C in the past 50 years.

        I’d guess that warming is probably long-term advantageous in terms of human habitation of Svalbard. We’re not really glacier-dwelling critters. Probably sucks if you’re a polar bear, but…
