As for my ban civilization post, that was based on 2wolves post about cities disrupting the local weather pattern. My responce to that is of course 'no shit'.

no, not at all. i refer to the all-but-proven DAMAGE done to the environment. the cooling of 1945-1979 may have been a natural occurrance or may have been due to excessive particulates. models could not begin to explain the cause then. in the 28 intervening years we have significantly improved our weather/climate modelling and overall computing capabilities. why suggest that we ignore that?
and because cities can disrupt local weather patterns, an apparently unavoidable consequence, isn't it all the more important that we do what we can where we can?
