Which made everything worse rather than causing the problems. From what I remember it's reasource scarcity leading to societal collapse, I definitely remember fuel being very expensive. I suppose that doesn't have to be directly climate related but you can make comparisons easily between the two. The car messaging is obvious though. You can't have a load of cool heavily modded cars without it being pro car. permalink fedilink source parent
