Difference between revisions of "Climate"

The climate of the planet is characterized by a conflict between a runaway greenhouse effect and the persisting impact of climate [[generators]].  The oceans are largely evaporated, relegated to rivers and temporary seas, swelling the atmosphere and concentrating in giant storms that circle the globe, shaped by the winds and concentrations of Generators, and often lasting years, covering areas the size of continents.  Freshwater lakes exist in certain regions that have been particularly shielded by geography or the Generators, particularly around [[Aapis]] and the [[Minwan Basin]], but they are few and far between.  As a consequence, most species have evolved to require very little water to survive (ie the [[Sehali]], to dwell underground, where groundwater is more accessible (such at the [[T'iksk]], or to remain in areas where water is more easily accessed — the [[Mang Fyel]], who dwell in the mountains, the [[Oekin]] people of the Minwan Basin, and [[Humans] who are typically relegated to the sparse [[Oases]] created by the Generators.
