Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })You can jump, you can shoot, but can you tackle CO2 emissions?Fate of the World is a computer strategy game developed by a British indie company in cooperation with Oxford University. It is an Earth simulator where the player tries to ward off the worst effects of climate change. It may be the first commercial title of its kind ever since Balance of the Planet (1990).The game has been receiving a lot of attention, in part because its success might demonstrate the potential of video games as a medium, and in part because a planet sim sounds really nifty. Unfortunately, it seems to lack some options that were visible in early previews: banning private car ownership, mandatory euthanasia at 65, vat-grown plastics. In 2011, an expansion 'Tipping Point' was released, allowing migration, and adding an easy mode.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Apathetic Citizens: People in consumerist regions are more concerned about the economy than reducing emissions.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: Your AI research can eventually result in the birth of a rogue AI named Thanatos, which infiltrates all of the governments and militaries of the world. The Computer Is Your Friend: Thanatos is actually pretty good for keeping the world under your full control, so long as you're on top of things. If you lose your grip on the global temperature, though, it will salvage the situation by wiping out humanity.

Bragging Rights Reward: "Synthetic feedstocks," a card that uses 22nd-century nanotechnology to create materials normally derived from fossil fuels. It's the last step in stopping the use of fossil fuels completely. It also takes ludicrous amounts of energy. By the point you can afford it, you'll have replaced fossil fuel power plants with crazy future space solar satellites, and fossil fuels are already a side note. Fusion power. Again, if you can do fusion, you can do solar power satellites, and those will solve your power problems forever.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Apocalypse How: Regional, Continental, or Planetary all the way from Societal Disruption (in the longer scenarios this is generally considered a victory) to Total Extinction.

Artificial Stupidity: If a region breaks away from the GEO and returns to self-governance it will often be in civil war and possibly famine by the time they come crawling back, expecting you to fix everything.
