I remember the comics and short stories that were posted on www.whatisthematrix.com way back in 99 - some of them were really very good, and there was one in particular that I think might have been a partial inspiration for 'Detective Story'. I had a look for these online stories recently and couldn't find them, so if anyone knows where they disappeared to, please let me know.
And surely there must still be oceans? I think if the oceans had somehow disappeared there would be pretty catastrophic consequences for the air - even beyond the potential lack of oxygen.
Actually I just had a thought, remember the first time we see the scorched sky? There were dark clouds there - I guess they could have been simply soot/smoke and the effect of whatever darkening agent the humans used, but it looked quite like heavy storly rain clouds to me.
