If you ignore the brownouts and famines, everything was going pretty well. Temp going down, biodiversity up, people weren't too angry at me... hell, even had a space colony.

BTW, has anyone actually gotten nuclear fusion?

    Regarding outdoor cats, they are an invasive species that have a significant impact on local bird populations. Cats kill like 2.4 billion birds and 12.3 billion small mammals per year in the US, the largest cause of death of birds in the US. Being a responsible cat owner means that you don't let the little killing machines outside because they can and will damage the local ecosystem. Cats are associated with the extinction of 33 different species so far.

    The ELF is not tied to the general happiness but the happiness of specific parties and generally just show up in every run where you pursue some technological ends, as long as you give the environment some attention they're usually annoying but ultimately harmless.

      The outdoor cats thing was a dumb struggle session at the beginning of this site. Wanting to ban them is just dumb.

      I'm using the technology to, get this, save the environment (snark for the ELF itself/anyone who would act like that, not you). That's the whole point. Like I said I got the temperature below the target +1 C and was steadily reducing emissions, but still they did a shit ton of terrorist attacks.
