[environmental analogies deleted - although one nit: Greenhouse effect
and CFCs are seperate effects: CFCs -> increased UV emisions whereas
Greenhouse -> getting warmer]
While the point is valid, I don't think the byproducts of god learner
meddling had specific effects like cause a new god to instantly appear
in the mythology of some barbarians. It is more likely IMO that their
meddling would have caused the nature of the spirit world to change
(eg the winds of dragon pass mysteriously became weaker) and the
barbarians spend 10-15 years in relious turmoil trying to figure out
what the hell is happening.
