Gaia's Lament	comment	(Note: Empathic Music for an Empathic Environment!) On a futuristic Earth, or similar location, plants, animals, and naturally clean water are things of the past. Something terrible has happened — civilization's negligence of the environment, a strange natural disaster, or even a combination of both — to turn the world into a wasteland. This isn't (usually) the Earth That Was, as the planet is still populated (usually overpopulated), but it's on its way there. Real food is a luxury for only the rich while the general populace lives off of synthetic food, Food Pills, or a new kind of meat. Forests are gone, replaced by concrete and steel jungles, more commonly known as cities, which are dark and dirty. If there is any undeveloped land still left, it's a desert wasteland, spoiled beyond recovery. What was once coastline is now underwater. If the story takes place/has a scene in a coastal city, expect to see the tops of skyscrapers sticking out of the water. Sometimes this is reversed: seas become salt deserts, with the remains of beached ships scattered about. The problem of overpopulation may be solved with the promotion of suicide, or special clinics. The general populace is detached from the natural world, having had no experience with it. However, if a character has the chance to see what is left of the green, or what the world once was, expect it to be a powerful moment. If the world is really far gone, they may simply see it as strange or alien. A Sub-Trope of Dystopia and Crapsack World. Sister Trope to Just Before the End, Earth That Used to Be Better, and Green Aesop. "Cousin" Trope to After the End, as society is usually still hanging on, if barely, although it can go with it, (usually, this trope is either the reason why the world ended or whatever ended the world causes this trope). Frequently seen in Cyberpunk settings. Compare to Gaia's Vengeance, when the world fights back. Extinct in the Future is a Sub-Trope that deals specifically with species that have gone extinct.

The result is a massive irradiated zone stretching from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, 300 miles wide, where the groundwater is also contaminated and the air is dangerous to breathe. An online fact sheet detailed that around 400 species in the region have been wiped out and, if America is liberated, the river won't recover for another 250 years.

Growing Blood Lotus rapidly ruins the land it is grown on, absent fertilizers the growers cannot afford. The remaining pockets of wilderness are rapidly being destroyed by the Lotus Guild to replace depleted fields. It's processed into an oil-like substance called chi, and burning vast quantities of it has turned the rain black and the sky red. Virtually no one goes outdoors without a breathing mask and protective goggles, or at least a kerchief over their face.

While there aren't enough nukes to cause a nuclear winter, the nitrous oxides in the resulting smoke and dust clouds damage the Ozone Layer, causing rates of skin cancer in humans and animals to increase a thousand-fold, also disrupting the life cycles of many plants. Additionally, while most cities hit by nukes are rebuilt, others — having faced groundburst bombs — are still too irradiated to safely inhabit decades later.

Most of the planet has been reduced to a barren wasteland due to pollution and natural resource exhaustion, and almost the entire population has moved to a space colony that orbits the planet. The plot of both stories is set in motion when the younger daughter of a terminally ill scientist studying how to return life to Eltria comes to Earth looking for something called the Eternity Crystal, which supposedly has the power to heal both the planet and her father.

Gaia's Lament / int_3653b976	comment	Metro: Metro 2033: The only place in game where you can breathe without a gas mask is in the titular Metro system (and there are even some places there where you need one!). The surface of the world is a frozen toxic wasteland, and you cannot survive up there for long without a mask. A side conversation heard between two NPCs reveals that the surface won't be habitable for at least 50 more years. Another side conversation reveals that outside of Moscow, the area is habitable, but still very dangerous and nothing like pre-war Earth. Played with in Metro: Last Light. Moscow's surface is starting to experience a "nuclear spring" with the snow and ice beginning to thaw and rain occurs. Marshes and other wetlands are beginning to develop on the surface and there is a thriving ecosystem... of nightmarish mutants. The air is still unbreathable to human beings. Moscow is recovering... in a new direction that is not necessarily hospitable to humans.

Gaia's Lament / int_418f78b9	comment	Most of Robinson's later novels are set on an environmentally deteriorating near-future Earth, such as Forty Signs of Rain, New York 2140, parts of 2312, and the last part of The Years of Rice and Salt — though it's always kept realistic according to current climate science, and they're not total apocalypse scenarios. The emphasis is on how human society might change in order to adapt to these problems and save what can still be saved. His novel Aurora (2015) is set in a giant Generation Ship where the carefully balanced nature-like environment is collapsing due to unforeseen microbial evolution and due to the system being forced to go on longer than planned, leading to starvation among the crew.note The author was making a point about the physical impossibility of colonizing planets in other solar system as a "backup option" when we mess up the Earth, at least as long as Faster-Than-Light Travel remains a fantasy. There is a reason he was named a "Hero of the Environment" by Time magazine and that he got awarded the Arthur C. Clarke Award for Imagination in Service to Society in 2018.

The trope is driven home when the player first leaves Midgar, and is able to see the surrounding lands are indeed grey and dead, there isn't even a blade of grass for miles around. Most of the rest of the world is still doing okay for now, but the underwater reactor at Junon has apparently wiped out the marine life that used to support the fishing town nearby. Just for emphasis, the land around other Mako reactors tend to look brown and craggy. The area immediately around Midgar is jet black.

According to ancient lore of the most recent edition, the campaign setting's version of Hell was once part of Heaven, and Maladomini was the most beautiful and ideal part of it and indeed, all of Heaven. When Asmodeus fell, he and the whole place was corrupted, and Maladomini fared worst. The insane archdevil who now rules it has made it one giant industrial wasteland full of smog, sludge, poisoned rivers, and continually decaying ruins. (As in, he keeps building upon the ruins with a concrete goal in mind, but is never satisfied with them, orders it torn down, and starts again.) Gaia no longer laments here, as she was murdered, and her body burned, spit on, and defecated on. But then, it is Hell.

In one instance, the atmosphere is not just toxic, but downright caustic, and the last survivors are living inside a force-field dome, waiting for the planet to recover. In the other, the people on the planet have been kept in stasis to await the planet's recovery, and when SG-1 arrives, the planet is habitable, but the leader of the planet has been keeping this information hidden from everyone else. Another example is the Tollan. Their homeworld was ravaged by a disaster caused by sharing technology with the inhabitants of a neighbouring planet, who promptly weaponized it and blew up their world, throwing off the orbit of the Tollan homeworld. The characters who turn up on Earth have never seen any animals before. They move to somewhere nicer.

However, the burden was significantly eased after the invention of the Shaw-Fujikawa Translight Engine, which allowed humanity to spread its population across multiple star systems; by the 26th century, Earth's become a reasonably verdant planet again... at least until the Covenant invade. At least 100,000 years ago, the Grunt homeworld of Balaho suffered a total environmental collapse caused by overindustrialization. Even nowadays, Balaho has not yet never fully recovered from that disaster, as it is still a frigid Death World where the natives suffer horribly high death rates. Reach used to be a rough, but habitable world, with forests, deserts, and a thriving ecosystem. This came to an end when the Covenant glassed the planet. However, the Distant Finale of Halo: Reach shows that by the year 2589, the planet has been terraformed back into habitability.

Gaia's Lament / int_76b8cb10	comment	Fallout: The war that created the setting has devastated the entire planet. By the time of Fallout: New Vegas, 200 years later, the Earth is starting to recover, but it's slow going. Some days after the Great War, rain began to fall in several places, but it was black, toxic and none of it was drinkable. It rained for several days, and the raindrops were laced by radioisotopes, soot and other contaminants. This was the real, permanent destruction of the environment brought by the nukes. The polluted rain killed most of the surviving animals, humans, plants and even microorganisms. With so much plant life dead, there was nothing holding back the topsoil, leading to desertification on a massive scale and making agriculture difficult. The remaining animals and plants were heavily mutated to adapt to the new, harsh climate. The black rain is a real thing, by the way, according to testimony of survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Capital Wasteland of Fallout 3 is spectacular even by the setting's standard, to the point where it's not even realistic. There is virtually no living plant life, to the point where all the topsoil is gone. There is very little surface water, and the Potomac is abnormally low and choke-full of mud. Even before the war, the situation was really bad. US government cared little about where nuclear waste was dumped and what consequences it would have, for example they removed Grand Canyon's status as a national park and allowed careless Uranium mining which turned the entire canyon into a radioactive wasteland. Most of those barrels of nuclear waste you see in really weird and dangerous places have been sitting there since before the war. Downplayed with Fallout 4. The trees look dead, but the game begins in October, and dead leaves can be found, implying they're merely dormant. All surface water is radioactive, but water pumps and wells can access clean water aquifers. There is more biodiversity, but nearly all of it is mutated. The soil in many places can support subsistence farming, though crops are slightly irradiated until cooked. The Commonwealth surrounding Boston is a harsh place, but it's miles ahead of the Capital Wasteland. Speaking of Fallout 4, terminal notes in the Nahant Oceanological Society mention that pollution in the Atlantic has led to a growth of around 15% in shellfish populations (Foreshadowing the mutant Mirelurks that end up plaguing waterways in the game) which would inevitably lead to colony collapse due to food shortage. The media's reaction to this troubling news was that shellfish season that year would be even more exciting. Downplayed with Fallout 76. Compared to the rest of the US, the Appalachian region got off light and was spared the worst of the atomic holocaust, with plant and animal life being largely abundant throughout most of the region. If anything, it's the lack of human life, due to a mysterious plague, that's of concern.

Agricultural production depends on GMO seeds because of heat and drought, and real meat is too expensive even for middle class people. Canada has built a wall to keep out environmental refugees from the US and there are large camps for internally displaced refugees outside the still exiting northern US cities, with the cities themselves being split into walled "Green Zones" for corporate employees, and vast lawless slums without any public services called "Red Zones" for everyone else who is lucky enough to at least have local citizenship. FEMA has long since given up, the government is a sham that almost no-one still bothers voting for, and international megacorps have taken over as de-facto rulers, complete with sending out private armies to fight over the last fossil fuel resources in places like Siberia.

He even pushes for environmentalism to become recognised as a mental illness. The conflicts in Southern Africa see so many dirty bombs and chemical weapons detonated, that whole areas become uninhabitable wastelands. The Christian Values Party uses nukes with reckless abandon. Their attempts to stop Cuba from taking Florida and crush pockets of resistance have left large areas of the country severely irradiated.

We ignored the problem for as long as we could, but we were kidding ourselves. By 2025, we knew we were in trouble and began to desperately search for a new home — Mars." There's a scene in which the younger astronauts question Chantilas about what the Earth used to look like, and at another point, it's mentioned that most amphibians are dead, simply because the environment is too toxic to support them.

Their rule over a Land is invariably marked by rampant deforestation and immense levels of pollution. The Land of Days, one of the most thoroughly subjugated lands, is a desolate, barren wasteland home only to the Tyrant's fortress-cities and a few hardy, twisted plants; some of its main geographical features, Merith Lake and the Forest of Bersith, have by the books' time vanished completely — nothing is left of them but an enormous, polluted swamp. The first thing Nihal notices when entering the subjugated Land of the Wind is how the Forest, once a vibrant mass of vegetation too thick to see more than a few meters from your position, has been reduced to a vast field of stumps and charred, lifeless trees.

Due to the story being set in a Flooded Future World, starvation isn't an issue for anyone, and fruits and fish are plentiful, but grain-based agriculture seems to be very sparse due to a lack of available land for farming caused by the rising oceans. Alpha is once paid for an odd job with a persimmon bigger than her head, and another character has no trouble growing watermelons. However, in a meetup between two other characters, one is astonished that the other has a bag of rice, saying it's been so long that he can't remember what it tastes like. He then surprises the other person by giving him some vials of soy sauce, which are reacted to with the same astonishment, implying that soybeans are just as rare as rice.

Coastal flooding has become common, and the majority of food the player can pick up seems to be artificial, or made with Human Resources. A conversation heard between two NPCs reveals that grizzly bears have been extinct for decades (the game is set in the 2050s). If you read an email on Paul's computer, an advertisement, citing "dwindling resources", talks about a suicide clinic that offers its user's family 10,000 credits. A book found in Paul's apartment also reveals that India and Pakistan, after a series of escalating conflicts and political upheaval, collapsed into a nuclear exchange. News articles read that the East River had a massive chlorine spill, killing almost all life in it, and that water supplies may be contaminated. Baja California is also missing from world maps — background information reveals that a massive earthquake took place on the west coast in the 2030s, and everything south of Lompoc sank into the ocean.

Gaia's Lament / int_d30ee3b3	comment	Kenshi takes place in a Death World rendered this way in great part due to industry and a cataclysmic war that almost wiped humanity from the planet. Fertile, temperate land is pretty much restricted to a tiny valley in the middle of the continent; everything else ended up at best as a dry, barren desert, in the middle as a black toxic wasteland with permanent acid rain, at worst a place where no life can exist because it's constantly bombarded by Kill Sats.

Depending on the strength of the player during the attack, can be an effective way to easily conquer or destroy an enemy colony in lieu of powerful weapons, or just flashy, but fun as reducing the T score to 0 will destroy all but one city.

Gaia's Lament / int_d93636c5	comment	In Travelers, the titular time travelers come from such a future and are trying to prevent it — ultimately without success. Details are only alluded at for most of the series, but we know that there were both massive natural catastrophes and resource wars, until the human population had been much reduced in numbers and that they are forced to live in hermetically sealed shelters under thick glaciers, where they are endlessly recycling their air and grow food gruel in vats. And their energy resources are running out. The Travelers that are newly arrived in our time are always filled with wonder at seeing trees and animals and eating even crappy hospital food.

Gaia's Lament / int_e235270c	comment	In Stellaris, there are a number of ways the player can encounter worlds that once supported thriving ecosystems, or outright cause this: The Terraforming Candidate worlds are Barren worlds that once supported life, but for whatever reason, no longer do. As the name suggests, terraforming them is a possibility. The Mass Extinction event chain is all about surveying worlds that were rendered uninhabitable by either massive disasters or their natives' negligence, in order to ensure the surveying species does not suffer a similar fate. Several of the various possible precursor event chains reveal that the species' homeworld was annihilated by the same disaster that caused their fall. The fate of any world taken by the Prethyon Scourge; they devour the entire ecosystem, and the planet must be glassed to remove them. (The world can be terraformed back into habitability, however.) Tomb Worlds, the result of a nuclear war. These can be colonized, but unless a species is radiation-resistant (a rare trait found on uplifted species or player species with the Post-Apocalyptic Origin), robotic, blessed by the Worm, or just incredibly resilient, they'll take massive penalties to happiness and population growth. It's possible for every planet in a system that isn't a Gas Giant to be turned into a Tomb World by the Worm. This is a mixed affair, especially since it makes previously barren worlds technically habitable and the Worm also grants Tomb World habitability to its favored species. Machine Empires in Synthetic Dawn can, with an Ascension Perk, deliberately glass planets into Machine Worlds that are completely inhabitable to even the most basic of biological life but serve the needs of synthetics perfectly. Among the preset empires, the Chinorr Combine's description says that their homeworld was Chicora was once covered in verdant rainforest and they evolved as canopy-dwelling ambush predators, swinging through the trees with their powerful limbs and dropping down on prey to inject a deadly neurotoxin. They ruthlessly strip-mined their planet into an Arid World as they civilised and are wholly unsentimental about the destruction they caused, claiming it to be a necessary sacrifice for progress. Downplayed and implied late-game. With enough Galactic Community decisions prioritizing industrial development, and the planetary administration passing the "Project Cornucopia" decision, planets can take a -45% Habitability penalty.

Gaia's Lament / int_e6267766	comment	In Star Wars Legends continuity, this is what happened to Nal Hutta, the current homeworld of the Hutts, once they got ahold of it. Formerly called Evocar and home to a race called the Evocii, it was once a lush jungle paradise. Sadly, the Hutts bought up property on it until they owned the whole planet, kicked the Evocii out, and eventually turned into a polluted and barren wasteland, due to strip mining and other foul industries. (Ironically, "Nal Hutta" means "Glorious Jewel" in Huttese.) The Yuuzhan Vong later conquered Nal Hutta during their invasion and terraformed it to suit their own needs; into what, exactly, is not yet known.

Gaia's Lament / int_ee04f49a	comment	Deus Ex Universe: While not as prominent as other fiction, it's implied through in-game media in Deus Ex that the Earth could have a better ecological record. Coastal flooding has become common, and the majority of food the player can pick up seems to be artificial, or made with Human Resources. A conversation heard between two NPCs reveals that grizzly bears have been extinct for decades (the game is set in the 2050s). If you read an email on Paul's computer, an advertisement, citing "dwindling resources", talks about a suicide clinic that offers its user's family 10,000 credits. A book found in Paul's apartment also reveals that India and Pakistan, after a series of escalating conflicts and political upheaval, collapsed into a nuclear exchange. News articles read that the East River had a massive chlorine spill, killing almost all life in it, and that water supplies may be contaminated. Baja California is also missing from world maps — background information reveals that a massive earthquake took place on the west coast in the 2030s, and everything south of Lompoc sank into the ocean. The situation in Deus Ex: Invisible War isn't any better. Transgenic species have escaped from labs, causing trouble for people in cities and functioning as invasive species. Nanite Swells cause Grey Death-like (the plague in the original game) symptoms in their victims, and in the Omar ending, the environment is outright destroyed in the many wars that happen after the game ends. The Omar don't mind, because their plan is to get the strongest humans possible and make for the stars. The prequel Deus Ex: Human Revolution shows the "Golden Age" of the augmentation revolution. Cities are bright and beautiful, and people are prosperous... as long as you're rich. There are strong rumblings in the background of bad things happening around the world environmentally, as well. The rumblings are strong enough that a gigantic undertaking in the Arctic Ocean involving a massive complex that essentially creates a hole in the ocean to aid with global warming not only seems like a fantastic idea, but is actually serving as a template for other facilities that are planned to be built throughout the world later.

There are mentions of sharks having gone extinct in the wild a decade earlier, a pet iguana is a valuable worth executing a highly elaborate heist to steal, and the urban animals in Night City were deliberately hunted to extinction in order to prevent the spread of disease. However, what really hammers it home is that next to no-one seems to think this is a bad thing. When a conservationist goes on TV to advocate for not hunting seagulls to complete extinction, she is forced to debate a mother who lost children to Avian Flu, and is pretty much booed off-stage.

Gaia's Lament / int_fe724d7f	comment	Rammstein's Donaukinder ("Children of Danube") is a song about the ecological disaster in Baia Mare, Romania. In January 2000, a dam at a gold processing plant broke and released 70 tons of cyanide and other toxic waste into Tisza, a river tributary to Danube. As a result, countless animals died of poisoning, five species of fish went completely extinct and water supplies of many cities in several countries were polluted. While the chorus of the song is ostensibly the lament of the poisoned people, it can be interpreted as the river's grievance as well, mourning its countless "children" killed by humanity's greed and stupidity.
