There is an interesting theory being tossed about concerning Vladimir Putin, Global Warming and energy. 

When the old
Soviet Union dissolved a flood of papers hit the world, included in these papers was a theory that the world was not warming, as is the common thinking in the west, but in fact was cooling. So much so that these Soviet scientist felt a mini-ice age would be dawning on the world sometime around 2020. The KGB of course was full aware of this study, which Putin was a high ranking member. Along with this was the belief that a minor ice age would produce a higher need for energy from
Europe, which the
Soviet Union could provide.  

So the thinking went that the Soviets could take control of the world, not via weapons or war, but by energy. Following the breakup of the Union Russia lost one of the main players in this thinking;
Georgia. With the pipeline running through it and the ports to the world,
Georgia was/is crucial to the Russian energy supply reaching the world. So what happened last year? Putin invaded
Georgia, moving quickly and with a firm arm taking control of the pipeline.  

To tie this up, the west would be wise to investigate the old Soviet thinking of controlling
Europe via oil, because of Putin. Clearly he knew about and perhaps supported this line of thinking in the days of the
Union and why would it changed now? Vladimir Putin was once seen as a friend of the west, but such theories as this and the evidence that supports he is attempting to implement it are clearly counter.
Russia and Putin are just another player in a world that is because increasingly dangerous at every turn.
