GLOBAL WARMING:
A SYNOPSIS
The New York based Global Shift Inc., and its joint
venture partner, EcoLogic, have been studying the effects
of global warming for over a decade. EcoLogic grabbed international
attention with AtmosFear, a climate change modelling system
that torpedoed its competitors out of the water.
EcoLogic scientists make headlines when they predict a global catastrophe in less than six years. They put forward impressive scenarios to demonstrate massive destruction from rising sea levels.
The Australian government is sceptical about the projections, but it can’t afford to take the risk that they might be correct. The Prime Minister, whilst still unconvinced, agrees to fund a massive relocation plan to help coastal residents move to inland locations.
People are reluctant to leave their prime real estate, but when another great tsunami smashes through Asia they begin to accept the threat as real.
EcoLogic’s CEO. Claudia McBride, is shocked when Global Shift’s founder,
Christoph Zelig, claims there are bugs in the software, or someone
in the New York office has manipulated data.
Jacob Sawyer, a climate change sceptic, and Solomon Bellingham, the minister for the environment, scheme the greatest swindle of all times, and a done-deal with a major civil engineering company guarantees Sawyer a kick-back that will set him up for life.
Faced with the possibility of inaccurate data outputs, Claudia is torn between reuniting with the man she loves, loyalty to the people who helped her build the company, and revealing the truth. She has two choices; tell the Prime Minister everything, and ruin her company. Or say nothing, and claim the personal happiness she craves.
