Don't we still need Ceremonial Funerals?

Give him equipment because we're not completely heartless yet. No new laws at this time.

By popular demand posted:I just looked it up and average global temperature during the last ice age are estimated to have been 6c which just puts in perspective just how hosed the world is ingame. It's so much worse than that. The recent glaciation periods are pretty mild compared to some points in Earth's past. The temperatures in the game are on par or maybe a little worse than the Cryogenian Period, 720-635 million years ago - before life had really started leaning into this whole "multicellular" thing. During most of this period, the planet was nearly entirely covered by ice sheets, with the exception of a "slush belt" around the Equator that was seasonally ice-free. It's one of several known "Snowball Earth" time periods, and likely one of the worst. Causes are not agreed upon but could include the removal of CO2 from the atmosphere by a boom in algae photosynthesis (causing a drop in the Greenhouse Effect), or a series of supervolcano eruptions putting enough sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere to block incoming solar radiation. Either of those could have gotten bad enough to cause a positive feedback loop as the ice spread and the albedo of the planet's surface would increase, reflecting even more solar radiation back out. Average planetary temperature is estimated to be around -12°C, and keep in mind The Pit is at a pretty far northern latitude. It's as cold as it's ever been in the entire geological history of the Earth. The Cryogenian Period only ended when background volcanism had spewed enough CO2 and methane into the atmosphere to give the Greenhouse Effect a kick in the pants and start melting the ice. That took 85 million years. Good luck, Remalle.

I think I remember reading somewhere that they were going to hide seeds and suchlike in case there's a disaster of some unknown description. There are a number of them, the most famous of which is on the island of Spitsbergen off the Norwegian coast. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seed_bank

Note that CO2 has a freezing point of -78.5°C. Although the concentration in Earth's atmosphere isn't really enough to get dry ice snow, on a long enough time scale* you would start to get gradual deposition and end up with chunks of dry ice (like the Martian ice caps), probably covering bits of exposed metal at first. *I have no idea how long this would have to be.

Help them. From a purely mercenary pragmatic standpoint, they're right: if they collapse that will leave an enormous number of desperate refugees fleeing to anywhere warm, and that will overwhelm us and our allies. Better to help them stand. The more settlements left running, the greater the resiliency of the whole.
