>>8002129>in a last ditch effort to save humanity from the climate famines as well as in reaction to shortages of conventional materials they replaced many conventional materials with recyclable, biodegradable ones. Some of them where designed to degrade / be pulverized and act as mulch after scrapping. >Humanity was too late, however. For about 22 years, peak temperatures across the globe where deadly. Peaking at 58+ degrees celcius in the arctic. Anything below the 49th paralel has known temperatures of 80+ degrees. This killed about 99.998% of humanity. >As humanity died out, nature showed it's resilience. Temperatures have largely normalized, but human civilization and settlement has been nearly annihilated. Entire continents are virtually without human habitation. There are no communities that top 1000 people anywhere in the world.The water is held in the fuselage, dripping out of the now porous and almost sponge-like material after absorbing it during a few weeks of rain. While the fuselage looks like classical metal, as said it is effectively slowly turning into mulch, even though it degrades rather slowly without mechanical force from plant roots since its structural integrity is too great for most insects and bacteria to break down.
Stop grumbling about what cant, start worldbuilding about what can.
