Quantity does not equal quality. Most of Russia is harsh and mostly useless tundra.

Climate change (specifically global warming) will make it better

Melted permafrost doesn't turn into valuable farmland. It will also cause higher CO2 emissions.

Not really. Melted permafrost leaves unstable terrain and the soil is still going to be lacking nutrients.

Not really. Taiga gets very little precipitation. If you warm it up, it'll turn into arid grass/shrubland, like most of Kazakhstan.

As warming changes, all the weather patterns we know and expect are going to change with it as well. It might not remain arid.
