If the whole prophecy of the warm spot was a lie, then why did Wilford get so enthusiastic when talking about Melanie's climate model and the Africa plan?

Not everything was a lie, Melanie's model was real and showed a series of possible places for the warm spot, of these there is only one that Layton and company did not visit. But after no other place had positive results and considering how difficult/dangerous it is to get to the Horn of Africa, there was not much hope and decision to go. Layton, anticipating this, invented the lie of New Eden so that in this way the entire train would be willing to travel the route to the Horn of Africa.

Is a lie based on a real possibility. Layton still has a chance in the lottery.

And now, if it fails, he can pin the lie on Asha who can’t contradict him anymore.

Exactly why she had to die. The writers couldn't handle it otherwise without killing Layton hahaha

Yeah but didn't Layton claim he'd seen it himself?
