So, I was wondering, has there been any info in SR canon about global warming. It is a serious issue of these days, and I suppose it still would be, even more so, after 50 years from now? There has been info about rainforests and nature re-vitalized through magic, but I don't remember reading anything about mages cooling this planet.
And the other one I was wondering, which I guess loosely connects to this, is the issue of flying cars, as I remember reading something about flying cars being the reality in SR in 2070. If I remember wrongly please just ignore this. The thing about flying cars, however, is something that I can't just imagine, the mechanics I mean. How is it going to be possible to make economical flying cars AND makin them work so that they can be used in urban, crowded areas, without bystanders being burned as is the case with T-Birds. |
