Yes, I recently finished Spec Ops the Line. I absolutely loved it.
I really love the destroyed Dubai as the stage for a game, it’s really iconic.
I was just wondering if there is a possibility that something like that might happen IRL? Of course, it looks like the sandstorm that destroyed in the game was massive, but is it possible? Or is more probable that the sea drowns the city when the sea levels rise up?
To be clear, I’m not wishing for the destruction of any mayor city. Just wondering if it’s a realistic scenario.
It’s possible, I suppose. A plague of locusts is a classic and far more likely cause of destruction.
Dubai would likely be fairly immune to a plague of locusts. It, and its farms are surrounded by desert. Locusts need a base area to build up to a swarm, Dubai doesn’t have that, their farms are too intensive. The desert would likely stop any swarms migrating there too.
I’m no locust expert so I accept this explanation.
Neither am I. I just know that locust require a lot of food, and Dubai has a LOT of empty desert around it. (It also has a really weird vibe, culture wise)
Plagues of locusts are no joke. One struck while I was on the shitter.
