Dealing with global warming effects
I haven't seen this mentioned before, so I'll post what I do...
I hate the fact that global warming eventually turns all your nice land into deserts. You can turn this off in the editor, but I still want some global warming impact. I just don't want to see mostly deserts; it's boring.
So, I added one more type of terraforming ability for global warming. I made it so that deserts can "deterraform" into junges. The jungles are still rather useless until your settlers convert them to grassland (or they're hit by GW), but that takes awhile. So, global warming doesn't directly benefit me, but it does allow me to irrigate the jungle back to grassland, and allow the global warming cycle to continue.
However, now I get more interesting and varied landscapes, and I don't end up with mostly desert.

Just give us back the means to terraform all tiles to grasslands, like civ2. Now the warming can be offset.

Well, yes, as long as the AI can terraform. In Civ2, the AI never did, so once you got engineers you could double your land value over the AI.
Even in Civ3, I don't think the AI railroads fast enough. Terraforming takes so long (and it has to for play-balance), that the AI would probably lose their workers before they finished.

Turns all your nice land into deserts?
Who's been throwing nucs around in your neighborhood? Such desertification doesn't happen to me, otherwise. A few here and there, of course, but quite manageable.

Well, I've also modded the game to slow it down. It's much longer between techs, so games last into the 2200's or 2300's. There's more cumulative effects of global warming.
