Global Warming, How do I stop it?

BTW, I was never nuked unless I started nuking first so far, and the other Civs were all furious with me, so I wonder why they nuked YOU, arretium.

You must really be a bad ass!

Totally agree! To simulate the earth's ability to recover

Not exactly. I suck at Diety and above. I can play Emperor if all of the card fall in my favor initially: basically, I have to get lucky and wipe somebody out early. But with Sid (Conquests) and/or Diety, I don't understand why but I've never been able to do well in Civ3. I do the same things people suggest in the strategy sections and I get rocked. Back when I played Civ2, I only played Diety. The only way I can play Sid/Diety competitvely is to use a trainer, which, obviously, isn't very fun.

As far as the Indians nuking first, right after declaring war against me, it was a shocker. I will say that the Indians have been the only civilization to Nuke me straight up right away. Fortunately, I had SDI defense, and it paid off.

I thought that was the way it DID work. Unfortunately, it appears I was wrong.

You could nuke a land bridge across the ocean to get the hoover dam effect on both continents.

Did it turn out to be 75% chance of interception as advertised?

Yea it did. Fortunately, the chances favored me for a quite a while. It wasn't until a few turns, a dozen or so nukes later, that he got one of on me.

Forget planting forests - it has no effect on pollution whatsoever.

Reducing the number of factories/mfg plants will help a little but thats about all you can do.

Global warming post vanilla civ targets trees before ground. What he's doing is preventing desertification of his grassland.

That's exactly what I was doing. I figured enough turns would go by and the global warming would stop and I'd still have my grasslands intact. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Instead, global warming just kept continuing on. It never stopped, unless you count the fact that I am no longer playing that game as a stoppage. .

Shouldn't nukes cause nuclear WINTER? Really, global warming is a result of natural changes in the Earth's rotation and greenhouse gases, not nukes.
