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 ownextinction...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 theU.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 counter measures...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...my father.
