[title] The Melting Point
[desc] The thousand-year-old @@ANIMAL@@foot Glacier, located in northern @@NAME@@, serves as a natural dam for @@ANIMAL@@ Lake. Yesterday, it broke open, causing the lake to rush out into the valley below. The tide of water flooded into the surrounding areas, destroying the nearby forest and wildlife, as well as a nearby town. In the face of this horrendous disaster, you have decided to set priorities on how to respond.
[validity] All nations
[option] "This disaster is just another example of how human-accelerated climate change is destroying our world!" exclaims environmental activist @@RANDOMNAME@@, who has already barged into your office protesting three other environmental disasters today. "Increased greenhouse gas output from cars, factories, and excessive flatulence are causing glaciers like the @@ANIMAL@@foot to melt prematurely. Soon, these glacial beauties will be all but gone." @@HE@@ pauses to wipe away a tear. "@@LEADER@@, you have to do something—speeches, environmental regulations, anything to stop the rising temperatures! Every person in @@NAME@@ has to know the consequences of their carelessness!"
[effect] a speech a day keeps climate change away
[option] "Oh get out of here you whining hippy!" grumbles @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ pushes @@HIS@@ way into the room. "Our town was flooded and our homes destroyed in that disaster. Our people could go homeless for who knows how long? We deserve to know that our tax @@CURRENCYPLURAL@@ are going right back towards rebuilding our homes and businesses! Violet's sake, your first priority should be to us, the average @@DEMONYM@@—not some nonsense tree-loving wacko. We demand that our town receive all the help it needs in rebuilding—and we'll need a lot of it."
[effect] after every storm there’s an expensive and government-funded rainbow
[option] "It's your own fault that you built a town smack-dab in the center of a flood pathway!" chatters self-described "preventionist" @@RANDOMNAME@@ as @@HE@@ emerges from a hole in the floor in mining gear. "It's common knowledge that areas within a seventeen-mile proximity of a glacier are in danger of flooding and destruction. Really, most of @@NAME@@ is vulnerable to some environmental hazard—why, there's a cave system a mile underneath here that could collapse at any moment! I've got an idea-why don't we move every city out of harm's way? Here, I've taken the liberty of preparing a map listing potential areas in danger..." @@HE@@ shows you a map with an uncountable number of marks on it. "See here, here, here and here…"
[effect] there is no safe space in @@NAME@@
