I'm in the midst of a huge game in which I've invested 200 hours of playing time. The game is at the end, and I'm going for world domination. However, I'm having a big problem with pollution.
See, the AI is nuke happy and they have nuked each other countless times (at least 40). Needless to say, global warming has become a problem. Well, I've eliminated all of the those nuke happy civs. I've got the entire world under my control EXCEPT a small island where the Chinese remain. There is no pollution anywhere, EXCEPT what is created by my civ during every turn in the normal course of industrial production. Nevertheless, I can't get global warming to stop. It's out of control.
To sort of "counter act" the affects of global warming, I've got a squad of 100 or so workers running around planting forests. Every turn I plant 50 or so forests and every turn I lose the same amount of forests due to global warming. I'm at a loss at how to stop it. It takes time to ruin around and plant forests and I'm long since tired of doing it. I've thought about killing all of my people to reduce the size of the population below six and destroying factories to eliminate industrial pollution created every turn, but will this even be enough? In short, what can a desparate player do to end the vicious cycle of global warming once it has already began? Should I simply stop planting forests? Is it having any effect? Do I need to go one turn with no pollution on the map and no pollution created by my civ? Is there a thread anywhere that discusses this topic in detail?
I have the latest civ, including conquests, with all the latest patches. Any thoughtful advice on fixing this problem would be appreciated.
The game involved is a huge map played on Sid level.
Thanks in advance.

), and, as a result, never had any global warming, although I had a small amount of pollution, due to other city improvements, like research labs, but they only generate 1 pollution/turn, whereas the factories and coal plants generate something like 3. This pollution, however, never made much of an impact, sicne I had a horde of workers that were able to clean up the piles in less than one turn (make sure that EVERY tile in your main territory has a railroad, though).
