    If we went carbon neutral today, things would continue to worsen for an estimated 50-70 years before correcting. Only going significantly carbon negative solutions will have the rapid, desired effect, and that’s nigh impossible.

      One of the Civilization 6 expansions introduces climate changes. You can unlock a technology for carbon recapture, however, generally by the time you are able to unlock it, climate change is already occurring. You’re also not able to reverse damage that has already been done.

      While it can be frustrating in game, I appreciate the fact that the developers realistically incorporated it not being feasible.
