EEK! Endless Global Warming!

[CurtSibling]

In my recent massive war in ToT, I noticed something scary after a prolonged and unfortunate atomic war.
Because of the uncleaned piles of pollution the climate got hotter and terrain was ruined...

OK, it's fixable with some terraforming...

NO IT ISN'T!...the global warming will not stop!

I have cleaned all pollution, but to no effect!

Help!

My world is dying...(since the Third Reich won the war, maybe it's for the best!)

A warning to all users, treat nuclear war with respect!

But is this endless Global Warming hardcoded in ToT?

Can I fix it?

I've never seen an episode of global warming without current pollution to trigger it. Maybe try building Solar Plants.

I sincerely doubt Churchill and FDR were concerned about the environment when Germany was invading France, Russia, and North Africa

Well they would if the had they were starving and roasting to death!

Anyhow in my save-game, the 3rd Reich have overwhelmed the USA and USA, not to mention the USSR, Japan and the East Allies.

But the price was high...never ending desert and drought...

The big cities suffer first!

Have you thought about just turning off pollution?

It does not help against nuclear waste.

Try building solar plants. Every solar plant rises (by 0.5) the minimal number (8, I think) of polluted squares what are neccessary for global warming to occur.

Btw, with a little hex-editing is possible to cancel out the global warming effect entirely, regardless how much pollution you have.

code:
---------------------------------------------
START OF SAVED GAME FILE:
=========================
A : 31 : Test of Time

32 = amount of polution. 7F is maximum, and will certainly cause global
temperature rising at the end of the turn. A value of 80 till FF
is a negative amount (still shows the icon for global rising),
but it will be reset to 00 at the end of the turn.
33 = amount of times that a global temperature rising has been
happening this far in the game. 7F is maximum and will make the
whole world a big swamp when the next global temperature rising
occurs. 80 or higher will prevent any global rising from happening.
At the moment when terrain should be changed, nothing happens, and
byte 32 is restored to 00, though a message still pops up.

Thanks for the useful info, guys!
