Our state leaders never cared about us, their citizens, besides the ones with wealth and power to their name. All of them easily adapted to this brand new world while the rest of us struggled to rebuild. And what were our esteemed leaders doing? Making sure that our destructive capitalist society still maintains the status quo even as we were displaced from our homes. Never forget what happened in Delhi, New Orleans, and Cape Town. Never forget the victims and the survivors. Never forget why we [b]fight[/b] for a better tomorrow." [indent]— Kali, anonymous climate activist turned eco-terrorist.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][hr][/indent] [indent][indent][indent]2028: the year that global warming surpassed 1.5°C degrees. It didn't faze world leaders until the first-ever Category 6 hurricane was recorded as it struck the Gulf Coast of the United States. And then, a megafire within the heart of South America was the final nail in the coffin for the Amazon Rainforest, jump-starting its desertification. An emergency climate summit was held in Geneva while more than half of Bangladesh was underwater for a record-breaking monsoon season. But, just like all of the other summits in the past, it did nothing to address the elephant in the room. It was also the last climate summit held. Twelve years later, every part of the Earth has experienced or been impacted by climate change. One billion people were displaced from their homes and became climate refugees overnight during the decade. Entire cities had to invest trillions into climate defenses and strategies or were left behind for nature to reclaim. Global shortages of food and oil initiated the Second Great Depression and a major energy crisis. The world seemingly entered into unknown territory but prevailed in the end. Spring 2040. Modern history enters into a new period of newfound stability. New countries rise out of the ashes while the old ones salvage what remains in this new normal. And advancements in energy, desert irrigation, and green technologies usher in growth not seen since the last decade. However, there are still threats that could thrust the world into pure chaos. One prominent concern is the Misfits, a nomadic society of climate refugees, and whether or not they should be repatriated and reassimilated. Most of them still distrust the governments that avoided them for so long. Experts warn that the Misfits will be a permanent fixture in policy-making for the foreseeable future. There are still sparks of friction erupting between countries over control of the new world.[/indent][/indent][/indent] [indent][hr][/indent] [indent][indent][indent]Welcome to Our World in Turmoil, a dystopian NRP set on Earth after it surpassed 1.5°C degrees. It has been twelve years since, but the world has changed for the worst. Natural disasters became more common and deadly throughout the world. It's all thanks to climate change and it's here to stay. However, for the most part, the world found a sense of stability despite the chaos of the 2030s. Still, some problems nevertheless require solutions. And whatever solutions are chosen will have concurrences in this new normal... If you have any questions about the lore or anything, feel free to ask away.
