Since that time...
:14:02
we have faced aseries of
unprecedented geothermal events.

:14:06
Active volcanism, earthquakes,
floods, and, most recently...

:14:10
a rapid acceleration
of the greenhouse effect.

:14:13
Now, based on my observations
in Antarctica...

:14:16
I would say that we are
potentially on the verge...

:14:20
of a catastrophic global event.
You see...

:14:24
the release of all that energy...
can I have the Pacific plate?

:14:29
...has caused deep fissures...
:14:32
within the Pacific tectonic plate...
:14:36
causing it to move apart from the
15 plates, which move in unison...

:14:40
to conserve the Earth's axis.
:14:42
Now this, in turn, has
created the potential scenario...

:14:46
that the Earth could lose
its temperature stability.

:14:50
Somebody in English, please.
:14:53
What he's trying to say is that
it 's going to get awhole lot hotter.

:14:58
-Exactly what does that mean?
-The movement has exposed...

:15:02
dormant hot spots
deep in the mantle...

:15:04
and this, in turn, has allowed the
release of hyper-thermal gases...

:15:08
which, in its turn, has contributed to
accelerate the greenhouse effect...

:15:12
...and this possibly leads on...
-Can we just let her talk?

:15:18
It means we have 3 days to stop
the Pacific plate from moving.

:15:23
-Or what?
-The Earth incinerates itself.

:15:28
Hold the hell on. I thought we were
talking about Mother Earth here.

:15:31
-The one that keeps on ticking?
-Well, put it this way, Colonel.

:15:35
The Earth will still be here.
We won't.

:15:41
-Is this actually possible?
-Apparently so, Mr. President.

:15:44
It 's been confirmed by JPL.
But to be honest...

:15:48
you're looking at the two
brightest people in the field.

:15:51
What do we do to prevent this?
:15:53
Well, based on the plate's
current momentum...

:15:57
there's only one way to stop it.
