Narrator: Those were the years when the icecaps melted due to the greenhouse gases and the oceans had risen and drowned so many cities along all the shorelines of the world. Amsterdam, Venice, New York forever lost. Millions of people were displaced. Climate became chaotic. Hundreds of millions of people starved in poorer countries. Elsewhere a high degree of prosperity survived when most governments in the developed world introduced legal sanctions to license pregnancies. Which was why robots, who were never hungry and did not consume resources beyond those of their first manufacture were so essential an economic link in the chain mail society.
Jack Hall: I think we are on the verge of a major climate shift!
Jack Hall: What do you mean? Terry Rapson: One of our NOMAD buoys registered a thirteen-degree drop in surface temperature the other day. I've sent you an email. Jack Hall: Hold on. Terry Rapson: At first we thought it was a malfunction. But there are four more across the Atlantic showing the same thing. Jack Hall: This is unbelievable. Terry Rapson: You predicted it would happen. Jack Hall: Yes, but not in our life time. This is too fast. Terry Rapson: There are no forecast models remotely capable of plotting this scenario, except yours. Jack Hall: My model is a reconstruction of a prehistoric climate shift. It's not a forecast model. Terry Rapson: It's the closest thing we have. Nothing like this has ever happened before. Jack Hall: At least not in the last ten thousand years.
Linda Porter: I had no idea how hot the climate would be, everything grows wild here and the pickings are far too easy.
