China and India are not desperate enough to choose to reduce their projected increase in coal-fired power stations. Nuke themselves?

No, the idea is:
1) Keep building coal stations
2) Invade northerly regions that are now better for growing crops
Not just China and India. Russia could just about do this for the lolz when you consider they're already expansionist.
Mind you I'm not _endorsing_ this, I'm just worried about it.

In all seriousness if you really want to picture Russia as expansionist, the only time when this was really true was post-WW2 and Cold-war Era. Now Russia is far from being a fool enough to "invade" countries around much beyond their border. Let's not forget NATO as well. I'm not sure in what world this scenario would ever happen.
How about China and India, whose southern parts are densely populated, and who are capable of launching rockets to space, have nuclear weapons for a long time, etc?
You don't want them to feel desperate.
