Broken Star: Global warming ticked on at start of game

[Cabay Jet]

This is extremely infuriating. I've started playing Broken Star, and I really enjoy it. But all of the sudden my tiles started turning to desert with the absolutely annoying "Global warming has struck near [city name]!". It's at the point where 1 tile turns to desert every turn. No nuclear weapons have been launched and detonated, there hasn't been a nuclear reactor explosion as far as I can tell, it just started all of the sudden for no apparent reason.

No comments? Come on, people, surely at least one of you thinks that randomly turning tiles into desert in a military minded scenario is a bad idea.

I have a comment: patience. In the mean time you can consider uploading your savegame and inform us what version of BtS you have: patched (3.02 or 3.03) or unpatched.

BtS 3.03, but I'm considering "upgrading" to 3.02 because these sc***ed up combat animations are making it difficult to follow a fight.

Unfortunately, I used world builder to fix the tiles that got turned into desert and, apparently, global warming isn't recorded in the event log. Many apologies. But I can tell you that in GlobalDefines.xml for Broken Star that "GLOBAL_WARMING_PROB" is set to 20, so it is possible for GW to start with the explosion of a nuke plant or a detonated warhead. In this case, I think a nuke plant exploded on somebody else's territory and I never noticed.
