    climate crisis

    Nuclear winter in the wake of the Eugenics Wars. Cooled us right down. Even in Star Trek, our immediate future is… bleak.

      Yes. Nuclear winter trades global warming for a tuckfun of even bigger problems.

      Volcanic winter is such a pain in the butt, I call shenanigans on the many-years winters allegedly in Westros, which would force them to migrate (or have decades of grain stores, which they totally don’t). With modern freight, volcanic winter is less of a problem for industrialized nations, but we still feel it.
