@timo21 @georgetakei Star Trek has "The Eco Wars/World War III" as canon, and Star Trek human characters from every series and film seem to know about it, but don't like to talk about it, either because it disgusts or (more usually) embarrasses them.

Consider the rest of the Voyager crew's reaction when Tom Paris gets that 1930s pickup truck running, or Archer explaining fossil fuel usage in 2010 to T'Pol in Enterprise. TNG and TOS have their moments too.

@eyrea @georgetakei That's what I recall as the extent of it. It's just difficult to predict all the crap that could happen in the future - that's what timelines are for 🙂 ....Timelines cure everything ...Also, wasn't it the Xindi that destroyed part of Florida in one timeline, but with global warming, Florida should have been underwater..I guess not in that timeline.

@timo21 @georgetakei Going by the technology available in TOS, I think it's more accurate that Florida spent some time underwater and then was recovered. At the time of Enterprise, the first world countries are good, but many parts of the rest of the world are still recovering from the Eco Wars. Enterprise is still over 100 years from now.
