It also affects a range of other factors, like the fuels used for various tasks or the modes of transportation that people prefer. Users can switch Lifestyles and click Recalculate in the Environmental Performance tab to the left to see how lifestyle choices affect our environment.

You can also see how your vision performs with the historical climate of Mannahatta and compare it to today’s climate.
You can change the precipitation event scenario for your vision. As with changing the climate and lifestyle choices of your vision, changing the precipitation event for your vision will allow you to see how your vision performs under different environmental conditions.
