The storm had been raging for hours when Jack Hall, a paleoclimatologist, arrived in Antarctica. The helicopter carrying him had touched down on the icy landscape not twenty minutes earlier, and he’d been grateful for the respite of landing in calmer skies. Now, however, the wind and snow had picked up with renewed force, gripping the frozen plains in a fierce winter embrace. As he stepped out of the aircraft, Jack was taken aback by the sheer power of the storm. He had been expecting it, of course, but the reality of it was far greater than he could have imagined.
Jack wasn’t there to study the storm, though. He was there to investigate a newly formed gap in the Larsen Ice Shelf that had been spotted by satellite a few days prior. It seemed that a large sheet of ice had suddenly sheared off the shelf, but no one was certain why. That’s why Jack had been sent — to figure out what had caused the break and what effects it might have on the environment.
Jack quickly made his way to the edge of the ice shelf and stopped. He stared in awe at the massive chasm that stood before him. The gap was more than a mile wide, and it stretched out as far as the eye could see. Jack couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He had expected to find some sort of explanation for the break, but this… this was something else entirely.
As he took in the sights before him, Jack began to piece together a theory — one that would change the course of his life, and the world, forever. The ice shelf had come under immense pressure from the warming ocean temperatures, and the break was the result of this pressure being released all at once. Jack knew that if this kind of event were to happen in other arctic regions, the effects could be catastrophic.
Jack quickly set about collecting samples of the sea-bed sediment and ice that surrounded the shelf. He wanted to get a better idea of what had happened, and the data he collected would be invaluable in helping him to do just that. As he worked, he became increasingly certain that the ice shelf break was the result of global climate change.
Jack reported his findings back to his team, but no one seemed to take him seriously. So he set out to prove his theory — and he did. By studying ancient tree rings, Jack was able to show that the break had indeed been caused by a rapid shift in the planet’s climate. He had discovered a phenomenon that would later be known as ‘rapid climate change’ and its devastating effects on the environment.
The news of Jack’s findings spread quickly, and soon the world was abuzz with the implications of his research. Scientists around the globe rushed to replicate his studies, and soon the evidence was undeniable — the planet was headed for a period of massive, unprecedented climate change.
Jack’s discovery would have far-reaching consequences. His research showed that sea levels would rise, temperatures would soar, and extreme weather patterns would become more and more frequent. In short, the world was heading for a period of upheaval the likes of which it had never seen before.
Jack’s discovery would go on to shape the course of history. He had provided the world with a warning, one that could be heeded — and one that he hoped would spur people into action. For, if something were not done to counter the effects of climate change, the planet and its inhabitants would suffer greatly.
It was up to the people of the world to take his message to heart and act now. For, as Jack knew, the time for change was running out.
FADE IN
EXT. ANTARCTICA- DAY
The sun reflects off the white snow and the vast expanse of the frozen landscape. We see a small team of scientists in the distance. Among them, is JACK HALL, a paleoclimatologist. He stands in awe of the environment in front of him.
Jack (V.O)
My area of research focuses on the climates of the past and what we can learn from them about the future. Little did I know that this voyage to Antarctica would be the catalyst for the changes that would affect the whole world.
Jack moves closer to the group. He notices that something unusual is happening.
EXT. ICE SHEET- DAY
The ice sheet is shearing away from the surface of the frozen land.
Jack
What the hell is going on?
The other scientists look on in disbelief. As the ice breaks away, Jack realizes the magnitude of the situation.
Jack
My god, the whole ice sheet is going to collapse! We need to get out of here!
The scientists scramble to safety. Jack stops and looks back in horror.
Jack (V.O)
I knew this was only the beginning of something much bigger. I just had no idea of the catastrophic consequences that would follow.
EXT. ANTARCTICA- DAY
We see a flurry of activity as the scientists take readings and collect data. Jack looks off into the distance, his eyes reflecting his growing concern.
Jack (V.O)
The ice sheet was gone and with it, came a new reality. A massive climate shift in the making that would affect the entire world population.
EXT. BASE CAMP- DAY
Jack and his team return to the base camp. Jack quickly gets to work, analyzing the data they had collected.
Jack (V.O)
It was clear that this event would trigger a dramatic climate shift. But how far-reaching would its impact be?
EXT.BASE CAMP- DAY
Jack and his team huddle around a laptop, studying the results of their research.
Jack
It’s not what we expected. The ice sheet breaking away caused the ocean currents to shift, which in turn has shifted weather patterns across the globe.
The scientists look at each other in disbelief. Jack turns back to them, his face grave.
Jack
We must warn the world. If we don’t act now, there will be catastrophic consequences for us all.
