You see how it's done?
Yeah, I think I got the hang of it.
You better. The boss will chew my head off if these cores get messed up.
Don't worry.
We're at 26 feet.
You let Jason operate the drill?
Yeah, he can handle it.
I didn't do anything.
Give me your hand! Let go of the drill!
Forget it, Jack! It's too late!
You're not gonna make it!
Jack!
Jack! Give me your hand!
I've got you!
What were you thinking?
- What's happening? - The whole damn shelf is breaking off!
That's what's happening!
We found evidence of a cataclysmic climate shift 10,000 years ago.
The concentration of these natural greenhouse gases in the ice cores...
...indicates that runaway warming pushed Earth into an ice age...
...which lasted two centuries.
I'm confused.
I thought you were talking about global warming, not an ice age.
Yes, it is a paradox...
...but global warming can trigger a cooling trend. Let me explain.
The Northern Hemisphere owes its climate to the North Atlantic Current.
Heat from the sun arrives at the equator and is carried north by the ocean.
But global warming is melting the polar ice caps and disrupting this flow.
Eventually it will shut down. And when that occurs...
...there goes our warm climate.
Excuse me. When do you think this could happen, professor? When?
I don't know. Maybe in 100 years, maybe in 1000. But what I do know is...
...that if we do not act soon, our children and grandchildren...
...will have to pay the price.
And who's going to pay the price of the Kyoto Accord?
It would cost the world's economy hundreds of billions of dollars.
With all due respect, Mr. Vice President...
...the cost of doing nothing could be even higher.
Our climate is fragile.
At the rate we're burning fossil fuels and polluting the environment...
...the ice caps will soon disappear.
Professor Hall...
...our economy is every bit as fragile as the environment.
Perhaps you should keep that in mind before making sensationalist claims.
Well, the last chunk of ice that broke off...
...was about the size of Rhode Island.
Some people might call that pretty sensational.
Stop global warming! Stop global warming!
I'm at the Global Warming Conference in New Delhi...
...where, if you can believe it, it's snowing.
The coldest weather on record has thrown the city into chaos...
...with numbers of homeless people freezing to death.
Taxi!
I enjoyed your testimony, professor. It was very spirited.
Oh, thank you. That's what we're here for, right? Put on a good show?
Quite. I was wondering if I could talk to you...
...about your theory on abrupt climate shift.
The name's Rapson. Terry Rapson.
Professor Rapson? Of the Hedland Center?
- That's me. - I've read your work on ocean currents.
- What do you say to a spot of tea? - Absolutely. If we can hail a cab.
Over here.
Welcome back to Glasgow, Scotland, where Manchester United...
...leads 3- 1 over hometown Celtic.
We return 63 minutes into the second half as Manchester United...
...looks to put the game out of reach. Let's get back to our commentator...
...Donald MacFarland.
What? Yeah.
- I just closed my eyes for a sec, man. - Yeah.
The baby kept us awake all night.
- And still. - Yeah!
Dennis? NOMAD buoy 4311 is showing a temperature drop of 13 degrees.
- Yeah? Where is 4311? - Well, it's...
- Georges Bank. - It's rough seas out there.
Must have knocked it about.
Kick that bloody ball. Come on!
Come on, kick it now. Kick it!
- Kick it! - Are the lads winning?
Hello, professor. How was India?
Oh, you know what these scientific gatherings are.
All dancing girls, wine and parties.
The fury of Hurricane Noelani stunned weather experts yesterday...
...slamming into the island chain...
...with a cataclysmic force never before witnessed.
Meteorologists already believe this to be the strongest hurricane ever recorded...
Are you gonna get that?
It will surely leave a wake of death...
- Hello? - I just saw that Sam got an F in calculus.
I'm aware, Jack. I get a copy of his report card too.
Sam is a straight-A student. He doesn't fail classes.
I don't have time to talk about this now.
Well, maybe you ought to make time.
Excuse me, I'm not the one who's away for months and months at a time.
I just don't understand.
I'll let him explain it. Can you take him to the airport in the morning?
Sam's getting on a plane?
He joined the Scholastic Decathlon Team.
- They're competing in New York. - Sam joined a team?
- Yeah, I think there's a girl involved. - Oh.
Look, can you pick him up at 8:30?
I gotta go because I'm on call tonight.
Don't be late. I don't want him taking a taxi again.
All right. Okay. I'll be there. Okay? I'll be there.
This morning's weather staff meeting has been moved to level four, room B.
Jack?
I know you're good at rubbing people the wrong way...
...but why would you aggravate the vice president?
Because my 17-year-old kid knows more science than he does.
Your 17-year-old kid does not control our budget.
- Who cares if he hates you. - My son doesn't hate me.
If Raymond Becker pulls our budget-
- Oh, shit! - Wait- Will you-? Jack.
Oh, my God.
- I'm sorry I'm late. - Dad, the cab's already here.
That's okay. I'll take care of it.
- What are-? - Here you go.
I'm not angry. I'm disappointed.
- Do you want to hear my side of it? - How can there be two sides?
I got every question right on the finial. Mr. Spengler failed me...
- ... because I didn't write the solutions. - Why not?
I do them in my head.
- Did you tell him that? - I did. He didn't believe me.
He said if he can't do them in his head, I'm cheating.
Ridiculous. How can he fail you for being smarter than he is?
That's what I said.
You did?
- How'd he take it? - He flunked me, remember?
Oh, yeah.
Sam, I'm sorry. I jumped to conclusions.
I'm gonna call this guy and have a word with him.
We'll straighten this out.
Hey, you can't park there.
- Don't worry about it. - Sam?
Sam.
Parker, this is Houston.
We're seeing some bad weather over Canaveral.
It doesn't look like you're coming back this week.
Your wife's gonna give me an earful.
Roger that.
Hey, come take a look at this storm system. It's enormous.
You all right?
He's afraid of flying.
I'm fine.
Statistically, the chance of a plane going down because of turbulence...
...is less than, what, one in a billion? Or is it a million?
- I can't remember if it's a- - Shut up, Brian.
Listen, Sam...
...don't pay attention to him, okay? Everything's fine.
They're still serving drinks.
It appears we're gonna have a bit of a bumpy ride for the next few minutes.
Please fasten your seat belts and put your tray tables...
...and seats in their upright positions until we get through this. Thank you.
Whoa!
Grab it. Watch out!
Sam?
Sam.
Can I have my hand back?
I can't believe I'll be alone with my mom.
Be patient with her. She's been looking forward to this holiday.
I know.
I love you.
I love you too.
Hey.
Hey, hello. Bye-bye.
The cause of this extreme weather remains a mystery...
...although some meteorologists believe sunspots are to blame.
- Hundreds are missing... - This is very odd.
There's a buoy registering a 13-degree drop in ocean temperature.
Oh, yeah, that's right. That buoy malfunctioned the other day.
I'll see if there are ships near Georges Bank to get it.
This buoy isn't in Georges Bank. It's just off Greenland.
What?
- What are the odds of two buoys failing? - Remote.
Make that three.
Just another typical day in New York City. Traffic jam, 10 blocks long.
Look here, Buddha. These people, and their cars, and their exhaust...
...and they're polluting the atmosphere.
Excuse me, sir. We're really late.
We're almost there.
- We're only two blocks away. - Let's walk.
What's gotten into them?
I have no idea. They're all worked up today.
In 1532, Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro...
...defeated this Incan emperor at the Peruvian highland town of Cajamarca.
What is his name? Time.
Montezuma.
No, no, Montezuma was in Mexico, not Peru.
It's, like, Anta-something.
- Atahualpa? - That's it!
Time's up. Correct answers, please.
That's five points for Woodmont and five points for Pinehurst Academy.
Next question.
In what year did Louis Quatorze ascend to the throne of France?
This place is so retro, it might actually be cool if it were on purpose.
Yeah, look at all these nerds.
Hey.
You look beautiful.
Thanks. This place is incredible.
Do you believe this is their cafeteria?
You played a great first round.
So did you.
These are my teammates, Sam and Brian.
- I'm Laura. - Oh, I'm J.D.
- Your school�s amazing. - Would you like a tour?
Sure. That'd be great.
Could you hold this for a sec?
Yeah, sure.
Thanks.
Man, you got some serious competition.
Please.
- And I'll bet he's really rich too. - Shut up.
- Who is it? - Terry Rapson here.
Sorry to call you so early.
No, professor, it's all right. What is it?
Well, we've found something extraordinary.
Extraordinary and disturbing, that is.
You recall what you said in New Delhi about how polar melting...
...might disrupt the North Atlantic Current?
Yes.
Well...
...I think it's happening.
What do you mean?
One of our NOMAD buoys registered a 13-degree drop...
...in surface temperature. I've sent you an e-mail.
Hold on.
At first we thought it was a malfunction.
But there are four more across the North Atlantic showing the same thing.
This is unbelievable.
You predicted it would happen.
Yes, but not in our lifetime. This is too fast.
There are no forecast models remotely capable...
...of plotting this scenario, except yours.
My model is a reconstruction of a prehistoric climate shift.
It's not a forecast model.
It's the closest thing we have.
Nothing like this has ever happened before.
At least not in the last 10,000 years.
As I predicted yesterday, the swell off Hurricane Noelani is incredible.
These waves are even bigger than I imagined. Just take a look.
Shouldn't you be monitoring the weather?
This is L.A. What weather?
Wait. What's that noise?
What noise?
Honey, I'll be right back.
The Coast Guard closed the beaches, as waves have grown too big for...
- L.A. Weather Center. - It's Tommy.
I'm in the middle of something, Tommy. What do you need?
There's hail the size of golf balls coming down here.
A low-pressure system along the California coast...
...is creating a cyclonic system across the L.A. Basin.
- Yeah? - Boss, turn on The Weather Channel.
I think we have to issue a tornado warning.
What are you talking about?
Palmdale and Lancaster are reporting wind speeds in excess...
- Hold on a second. - Conditions highly unusual for California.
We're building a forecast model, we need- What?
Priority access to the mainframe for two days, maybe three.
- Is that it? Anything else? - We need it immediately.
I'd say you've lost your mind...
...but you've been this way for the past 20 years.
Tom, this is important.
What is this forecast model you're building?
Janet Tokada, this is Jack Hall. Janet's a hurricane specialist with NASA.
Jack's a paleoclimatologist, and I have absolutely no idea what he's up to.
Booker. What's going on here?
They just issued a tornado warning in Los Angeles.
Breaking news as we prepare to go live to Los Angeles.
Mixed reports are coming in about some extreme weather occurring in the area.
Okay, we're now going live to our Fox affiliate in Los Angeles.
We have live coverage now from our Fox 11 chopper. Are you there, Bart?
Yes, I'm here. These tornados are forming so fast-
- Bart! - What? Oh! Oh, my God.
Lisa, are you getting this on camera?
This tornado just erased the Hollywood sign.
The Hollywood sign is gone. It's just shredded.
Bart, what can you see? Is anyone hurt?
I wouldn't be surprised. There is so much damage.
And there are people down there taking pictures.
Hey, what the hell are you guys doing? Go for cover!
You can't stay here! Get out of here!
What you're seeing are two actual tornados...
...striking Los Angeles International Airport.
Wait. It looks like they've joined and formed one large tornado.
- Tommy! - Oh, my God!
Holy shit!
I'd like to urge all of our viewers to stay away...
- Jeff, where are you? - I'm on Yucca and Vine.
- I'm on my way. - You're on TV. You're in the middle of it.
God! Oh, my God!
You gotta get out of there, man.
That bus just got dropped on top of that Porsche!
Oh, my God. I hope no one was in that car.
For our national audience just joining us now...
...we are going live to downtown Los Angeles right now. Tommy?
If you look over there behind me, that's a tornado.
Yes, a twister in Los Angeles.
It's one of many tornados that are destroying our city.
There's another one. That's the Los Angeles skyline.
It's unbelievable! It's huge! I've never seen anything like it.
What's happening?
It looks like some sort of...
...huge, horrific, terrifying nightmare, only this is the real thing.
Yes, I'm looking at it right now.
- Yes, it is. - What's happening?
I'll call you back.
Mr. President, Los Angeles has been devastated by a series of tornados.
On top of that, the FAA wants your approval to suspend all air traffic.
- What do you think we should do? - Until we can figure it out...
...I don't think we have much choice, sir.
What you're seeing is what's left of downtown Los Angeles.
Hey, man, I just got off the phone with my mom.
Excuse me, you guys. I'm really sorry, but we need to change the channel.
The FAA has grounded all air traffic in the United States.
Unfortunately, the order came too late for two planes...
...brought down by severe turbulence in the Midwest.
- The first flight... - So much for "one in a billion. "
All right. All right, listen up, everybody. Listen up, please.
We've got a lot of work to do, and we don't have much time...
...so let's get started, please. Vorsteen?
All our grid models are worthless.
I don't think grid models are gonna be a lot of help here.
Canadians report tremendous circulation moving from the Arctic.
In Siberia, there's a low-pressure system never before seen.
And Australia just saw the strongest typhoon ever recorded.
- These things are interconnected? - We have to consider the possibility.
The only force strong enough to affect global weather is the sun.
- What's NASA have to say? - We've already checked.
Solar output is normal.
- What about the North Atlantic Current? - What about it?
I got a call last night from Professor Rapson at the Hedland Center.
He thinks the current has changed.
Oh, come on, Jack. How could that be?
The current depends upon a balance of salt and freshwater.
- We all know that. - Yes...
...but no one knows how much freshwater...
...has been dumped into the ocean because of melting polar ice.
I think we've hit a critical desalinization point.
It would explain what's driving this extreme weather.
Hedland had some pretty convincing data.
They've asked me to feed it into my paleoclimate model...
...to track the next events.
Are you suggesting these weather anomalies are gonna continue?
Not just continue. Get worse.
I think we're on the verge of a major climate shift.
What are you gonna tell the Administration?
What do you expect me to tell them?
The government has to make preparations.
- You have a theory. - Give me the mainframe. I'll prove it.
No.
You have 48 hours.
- Professor Hall. - Yes.
- I think your theory may be correct. - Walk with me.
Just a few weeks ago, I monitored the strongest hurricane on record.
The hail, the tornados, it all fits.
Can your model factor in storm scenarios?
- We haven't had the time. - Well, maybe I can help.
- Welcome aboard. - Thanks.
Hi, I'm Jason.
- Hi. - Hi.
Do you have Peter's CT scan results?
Yeah. The treatments shrunk the tumor 20 percent.
- Is his eyesight better today? - No. No change.
- Hi, Peter. How are you doing today? - A little better.
Good.
Let me listen here.
Can you read that?
No, but I remember the story from the pictures.
You do?
My mother used to read it to me.
She must be very proud of you. You've been such a brave, big boy.
- Thank you. - You're welcome.
- Here you go. - Thank you.
Jack, you've been working for 24 hours straight.
You're the only one who hasn't taken a break.
Maybe I'll try to shut my eyes for a while.
Call me when you get the results.
Frank, is he always so obsessive?
- Yeah. - Yes.
Does he ever lighten up?
- Not really. - No.
How long have you been working together?
Well, Frank's been working with him...
...since the Stone Age, but I've only had to endure two years of servitude.
Jack.
Jack, we got the results.
Six to eight months? That can't be.
That time scale isn't in months. It's in weeks.
Widespread flooding has caused numerous closures...
...including the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels.
The plumbing in the school is really old.
With this rain, the sewage got stopped up.
Where are you staying?
They're finding a place for us with kids here.
You can't get home any sooner than tomorrow?
Well, look, Dad, I would if I could, you know. It's just...
This smell is unbearable, Dad.
Stop kidding around! I want you home.
Dad, I'll be on the train.
Do me a favor. Just don't worry about me. I'll figure it out.
All right, son. I'll see you tomorrow.
Hey, Sam, guess what?
We got a place to stay.
Great.
So far, the terrible weather hasn't hit D. C...
...but local residents aren't taking chances...
...as people stock up for what is already being billed as...
- ... the worst storm season on record. - Better be sure.
- My ass is on the line. - You saw the model.
And I hope to God it's wrong.
- Mr. Vice President. - Tom.
- You know Professor Hall. - Yes, we've met.
Professor Hall has some information I think you should look at.
We just got these results from our simulation model.
They explain what's causing this weather.
I'll read it later. I have to meet with the director of FEMA-
This is very urgent.
Our climate is changing violently. It will happen over the next six to eight weeks.
You said this wouldn't happen for another 100 years.
- I was wrong. - Well, suppose you're wrong this time.
I wish I were, but you're aware of what's happening everywhere.
We're making all the necessary preparations for this storm.
What more do you expect?
You have to start thinking about large-scale evacuations right now.
Especially in the Northern states.
- Evacuations? - Yes.
Have you lost your mind, Hall? I have to go.
Mr. Vice President! If we don't act now, it's going to be too late.
Come on, Jack.
- Thanks for bringing us here. - I couldn't let you leave New York...
...without seeing the Natural History Museum.
Of course not. It's a fine collection of stuffed animals.
Hey, guys, check this out.
"The body of this mammoth was found...
...perfectly preserved in the Siberian tundra...
...with food still in its mouth and stomach...
...indicating that it froze instantly while grazing. "
It's been 24 hours now since the snow started falling across the British Isles...
...and over Northern Europe. It shows no signs of letting up.
No, no, no. You've got to stop worrying. No, no.
It's fine. We've got plenty of supplies. We're just snowed in.
Yeah. No, it's all right. It's all right.
No, you stay where you are. I'll be fine.
Yeah, I love you too. Okay, bye.
- Hey. How's Jeanette? - Oh, fine.
The ferry just landed.
Must be nice in Spain. Wish I was there.
An elite RAF search-and-rescue team has been deployed by helicopter...
...to airlift the royal family to safety.
- Yeah, you think they'll come get us? - Not likely.
Luckily we've got our own genny, enough tea and biscuits to sink a ship.
Oh, we'll be fine.
As long as the loo doesn't back up again.
In Ireland, those remaining in Belfast and Bambridge...
...have been urged to evacuate to Dublin as soon as possible.
The north continues to receive the worst of the storm...
...and conditions in the south are expected to worsen.
We've got zero visibility. Maintain heading and speed.
- What's our heading? -035, sir.
Approximately 40 kilometers from Balmoral Castle.
We've lost visual contact with you.
- This gauge can't be right. - Wind speed has dropped to zero.
We have vertical walls of cirrus cloud formations.
What the hell is going on?
The bloody fuel lines are starting to freeze.
Port engine pressure is dropping. The rotor rpm is dropping.
We've got a flameout on the starboard side as well.
Prepare for crash landing.
Select emergency fuel.
Come on, you bastard!
Come on!
What I'm about to say is supposed to be confidential.
Several hours ago, three helicopters went down over Scotland.
They crashed because the fuel in their lines froze.
- At what temperature does-? - Negative 150 degrees Fahrenheit.
We had to look it up.
The temperature dropped phenomenally fast.
On the ground, people froze before they could get out of their cars even.
Can you get a satellite picture of Scotland two hours ago?
We've got mountains of data...
...but nowhere near enough computer power to analyze it. Can you help us?
Send us what you got. We'll do our best.
Thanks, Jack. Bye for now.
This is Scotland at the time the temperature dropped.
This thing looks just like a hurricane.
Only hurricanes don't form over land.
- Good evening, sir. - Hey, Harold.
- Thanks, Victor. See you in the morning. - Right, sir.
- Terrible weather. - Tell me about it.
Wow.
You live here?
Just on the weekends.
It's my dad's place. He's kind of never around, so...
Where is he?
Skiing in Europe with my stepmom.
Is this you and your brother?
Yeah, that's when we took a bike trip together.
It's been raining like this for three days now.
Come on, hurry up.
I'm just standing here.
You can't stay here.
I never liked this neighborhood anyway.
It's a mob scene here at Grand Central Station.
Over half the platforms are flooded and service has been suspended on all trains.
With planes still grounded and trains now out of service...
...that's bad news for the...
Victor's coming to pick me up. You guys want a ride to the train station?
Not anymore.
In Nova Scotia earlier today the ocean rose by 25 feet in a matter of seconds.
What we have feared for the past few days has indeed happened.
The cold front moving from the Arctic...
...has created an enormous storm system in Canada...
...which, incredible as it sounds, looks more like a tropical hurricane...
I gotta go pick up my little brother. Do you guys want a ride?
- Where is he? - He's in a boarding school in Philadelphia.
If this system moves south...
...we could see a wind-driven storm surge...
...threaten the entire Eastern Seaboard.
Okay, bye.
Victor's stuck in traffic over on Fifth Avenue.
It'll be easier to head out of town if we meet him over there.
You mean walk? No, not in this.
We should take the stairs.
We're on the top floor.
I guess we're walking.
Maybe we should just stay here.
I think the young lady is right.
No. We need to get home.
Hey, Cesar, come here.
What are you doing?
The wolves, they're gone.
Just to give you an idea of the situation...
...which seems to be becoming worse with each passing minute:
At the moment, we have flooding in most parts of the island.
We've got traffic snarl-ups because the electricity is now out...
...to almost every part of Manhattan. No traffic signals.
Car accidents, at least 200.
And lower Manhattan, we've been told, is virtually inaccessible.
Can you call Mom? Will you please phone her for me?
Hey.
That dog can't come in here.
Come on, man. It's pouring out there.
I don't care. Read the sign.
It's supposed to be a public library.
Come on, guys, this way.
Excuse me. Your bad.
Goddamn 1500-dollar waterproof raincoat.
- Please, shut up, man. - There must be rats everywhere.
That's because it's New York.
Hey! Hey!
- Open up, big papa. - It's out of service.
It's out of service.
- I'll give you $ 100. - You don't have to do that.
No, really. $200. I won't have it.
God, I love buses. This is so much fun. This is gonna be the bomb.
Hello?
- I can't reach my driver. No signal. - This is insane.
We're not gonna be able to drive. We should go back.
- Yeah, I vote for that. - Are you kidding? We have to get higher!
Come on.
Up to the library.
Calm down.
I can't understand what you're saying.
If you stay calm, ma'am, I'll get you out.
The door is jammed!
I don't speak French!
Hey, where's Laura?
- She was just right there. - She's right there! Right there, see?
What is she doing?
Tell them to cover their eyes.
There is a wall of water coming towards New York City. Everybody-
- What? - Her bag's in the cab. Their passports.
Forget about it.
- I'll get it for her. - Come on.
Oh, my...
Laura!
- Sam. - No! Brian, no!
Laura! Laura, look!
Come on. Come!
Come on!
Sam!
