Supreme Overlord of Luxemburg
Call of Duty: Black Ops III needs to be added as Global Warming plays a key part in the game's backstory. The most visible example is in Egypt where it is mentioned that part of the reason for the Lotus Towers that are border on being Vertical Cities are that the Sahara Desert is claiming many of the of the outlying settlements and Nile River is drying up (not helped by the NRC's dam projects which is why there are at war). The Aquifer from the level Sand Castle was also a result of being a failed attempt to harvest ground water for the Egyptian population when the Nile started drying up.
I am one with the force. the force is with me
I don't understand why Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment applies here. I'd understand if this were applied to solutions to global warming since it's a political/social issue. But it is already mentioned in the text that the science has been settled. Data shows a strong correlation between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and temperatures. The facts are not in dispute. We don't have the same caution for evolutionary theory or Flat World. Why do we have it for this?

WALL-E was less global warning and more Trash of the Titans, at least explicitly.
T Vtropes is NOT Wikipedia, stop trying to make it that. I'm attacking the darkness!
I don't know how exactly do that but it would be worth mentioning that the cause and exact shape of climat changes tend to be controversial topic. I find many people studying technical-but-not-directly-related subject sceptical about human caused climat changes. It also included some people I met from directly related (solar cycles) areas (although underlining that he is not specialist and this is complex issue he is not specialised in).
I am not sure how to do it under Rule Of Cautious Editing Judgment so I post it on forum that it might be benefitial to mention the controversy (stating that the human-cause global warming is consensus among climatologies). The sceptics are at least cultural phenomena.

It looks like in America, sceptical views are mostly cultural phenomena.
Let's look at an example
at Albany University's site. So, the Important side in the incident was: "there was nothing heroic about exposing Blondlot. The American was a spy for the British in the continuing chauvinistic science of Europeans. It was the British and the Germans against the French, and the French lost points in this exchange." What's left as the Unimportant side: whether N-Rays do exist. The current second link on the front page: "Careers Built on UAlbany Atmospheric Sciences Quality & Opportunities". No comment. :]
You know what, I'm just gonna say it. I'm tired of things like climate silence where we cater to "skeptics" who refuse to acknowledge science. There shouldn't be a ban on Real Life examples.
