Given the scant effect international climate efforts have had on emissions over the past three decades, a turn back toward energy realpolitik-and away from the utopian schemes that have come to define climate advocacy and policymaking worldwide-could actually accelerate the shift to a lower-carbon global economy in the coming decades. If there is a silver lining in any of this, it’s that a shift of focus back to energy security imperatives might not be the worst thing for the climate. A new era, marked by geopolitically driven energy insecurity and resource competition, is moving climate concerns down on the list of priorities. Virtually overnight, the war in Ukraine has brought the post-Cold War era to a close, not just by ending Europe’s long era of peace, but by bringing basic questions of energy access back to the fore. Two decades of worrying about carbon-fueled catastrophes-and trillions of dollars spent globally on transitioning to renewable power-haven’t changed that basic existential fact. But access to oil, gas, and coal still determines the fate of nations. Growing concern about climate change and the push for renewable fuels also led many to underestimate just how dependent societies still are on fossil fuels. In the decades following the end of the Cold War, global stability and easy access to energy led many of us to forget the degree to which abundant energy is existential for modern societies. Instead, questions of energy security have returned with a vengeance as countries already struggling with energy shortages and price spikes now face a fossil fuel superpower gone rogue in Eastern Europe. Meanwhile, the headlong rush across Western Europe to replace Russian oil, gas, and coal with alternative sources of these fuels has made a mockery of the net-zero emissions pledges made by the major European economies just three months before the invasion at the U.N. “ Climate Change Is Harming the Planet Faster Than We Can Adapt” simply couldn’t compete with “ Putin Is Brandishing the Nuclear Option.” But the outbreak of the first major European war since 1945 kept the report off the front page or, at the very least, below the fold.

Leading media outlets did their best to pick out the most dire scenarios and findings from the report. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released its latest assessment of the impacts of global warming. Tell me what you think so far.Four days after Russian tanks rolled into Ukraine, the U.N. So if the second card you sacrifice has a RPA 18 points, you will have a total of 34 points per turn. This will only happen at the end of a phase, or 5 turns, and then you can sacrifice another card. But in this game, a card has a recourse value it will add each turn, so if you add a card with a RPA (Recourse Point Average) of 16, you get 16 points per turn. So you choose your deck, then you enter sacrifice mode, in which you will be able to give up a card in order to gain a resource point (pretty much same as Shadow Era Sacrifice stage).

Depending on your level, you can choose extra heroes to use. Then you will enter deploy mode, in which your deck will be laid out and you can choose your deck heroes. The match will start with a 3D cut-scene showing the heroes arriving on the battlefield. The hero can also ride 'Alpha-Beasts' at a high price, which are stronger, larger beasts that require a skilled veteran to tame. There are also weapons and armor, which can be won in campaign and tournament matches, and bought in the shop, that increase some of the heroes stats. Heroes generally are very high in health, have strong attacks, and have very good special abilities. Heroes are strong units who can equip weapons, ride 'Alpha-Beasts', and wear armor. They can be fought themselves, or if you kill the summoner they are reduced to minimal stats, making them easy targets. Familiars are cards that are summoned by other cards, and are generally stronger than their master. Beasts are ussuallu acquired in a match, where a player will draw a card from the 'Beastiary Deck'. Beasts are creatures that can be tamed, fought for recourses, or used to create a 'Zauros' unit. Races are mostly humanoid beings, like soldiers or heroes.

There are 3 types of characters: Races, Beasts, and Familiars. The game would take place in a prehistoric style world, where prehistoric creatures and races are used as often as often as other units. It is a card game, one that would most likely be in the style of Shadow Era for iPod touch, but yet there would be 3D representations of each character, and equipped weapons would be shown as well. I think the best name for it would be 'Zauros'.
