"If world pollution reaches sufficiently critial levels, there is a chance that global warming will occur. It can cause forests and jungles to disappear, and grasslands to become plains, and plains to decome desert. " This is how global warming is supposed to work in the game according to the Civilopedia. It doesn't always work like that though, as you can see from this truly weird screenshot submitted by Jackie Niebling.
Look at this strange screenshot. I had a fairly high level of pollution in this civ game and suddenly and without warning a desert tile rose out of the water to seal in the city of Eridu, prohibiting it from ever making naval units again. Before this happened, however, I had built a harbor (as you can see by the icon) and an offshore platform in the city. They both continued to work on the remaining water squares in the city's reach. I went back one autosave to move my ships from the city out to the tile of desert to see what would happen. The thing still rose out of the water and enclosed my ships as you can see. They could still move out from the desert square into the ocean but not back in of course.
