Remind me again how to edit pollution out of game code

[ATC1983]

Saw a thread for this before but couldn't find it. Can anyone tell me which part of the xml files I need to change?

You mean global warming?

It's in GlobalDefines.xml

Assuming that you are looking to mod out Global Warming, quoting Roland Johansen, from several years ago:

It's quite easy to for instance remove global warming from the game. The file GlobalDefines.xml which exists for every version of the game (vanilla, Warlords and BTS) holds many parameters that effect the game. One of them is:

Code:
<Define>
<DefineName>GLOBAL_WARMING_PROB</DefineName>
<iDefineIntVal>20</iDefineIntVal>
</Define>
Changing the 20 to 0 removes global warming from the game.

The file is located in:
...\Civilization 4\Assets\XML
...\Civilization 4\Warlords\Assets\XML
...\Civilization 4\Beyond the Sword\Assets\XML

depending on the version of the game that you wish to change. It's preferable to create a tiny mod out of it than changing the original file(s). If you do change the original files, then make a backup of the file first so that you can revert back to the original files.

I made this change by creating a small file and placing it in the corresponding subfolder in Custom Assets in the ~/Documents/CIV folder. It works like a charm.
