Everyone was warned
but no one listened.
A rise in temperature...
ocean patterns changed...
and ice caps melted.
They called it extreme weather.
They didn't know what
"extreme" was.
In the year of 2019...
hurricanes...
tornadoes...
floods...
and droughts...
unleashed a wave of destruction
upon our planet.
We didn't just lose towns...
or beachfronts.
We lost entire cities.
The East River swallowed
Lower Manhattan.
A heatwave killed
2 million people in Madrid...
in just one day.
But in that moment...
facing our own extinction...
it became clear
that no single nation
could solve this problem alone.
The world came together as one.
And we fought back.
Scientists from 17 countries...
led by the U.S. and China...
worked tirelessly...
not as representatives
of their nations...
but of humanity.
They found a way
to neutralize the storms...
with a net of
thousands of satellites...
each deploying countermeasures...
designed to impact the
basic elements of weather...
heat, pressure, and water.
All overseen by the
International Space Station.
They gave the satellite net
a technical name...
put we all came
to call it "Dutch Boy"...
after the story of the child...
who plugged a dam
with his finger.
This is what saved us all.
It was built by a team
led by one man...
Dr Who

Catastrophic movie.
It’s for the movie Geostorm. Everthing exept the last line.

Controlling the weather they can. Ends up with a cataclysmic event.

No aliens at all.

Not sure about Doctor Who but every movie need a one minute monologue telling the viewers what’s going on. Should be mandatory

That’s freaking awesome. Exactly how you should approach meetings you don’t want/need to attend. You will never be call upon again

Actually...
I have been considering "Movie Voice over Guy's" technique ...
I definitely have the voice for it...for radio or film....
So I have been told..

If ever the madness and always escalating incidents get to be pure lunacy ...and decide to quit my position at work...

"In a Place...
at the edge of Chaos..
past the Lands of Law and Order...
1 man decides to tell his superiors ...
to stuff their f#@*ing orders ...."

I am sure everyone would be laughing so hard they wouldn't know whether to take me seriously or not...

Cool, a movie Voice! Would be cool if you can voice some voice in deadpool 3.

Chaos, orders, superiors. 3 things I can live without

About 9 years ago, when I was in Iceland, I ate Puffin for dinner. Now I feel guilty...
