Global warming does benefit Putin. Like you wrote, the migrant exodus taxes Western countries leading to xenophobia then rightwing reactions. The influx of Syrians (and other Middle Easterners) to Germany empowered the AfD.

And global warming is thawing the permafrost and the Arctic, which will make Russian exploration and mineral exploitation easier. I gather less Russian cities will be affected by rising ocean waters than cities in the US, Italy, Greece, Spain, the UK. St Petersburg or Vladivostok may be vulnerable one day.
