: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.
:16:00
-How?
-By triggering aseismic event.
:16:06
You might call it a global
chiropractic adjustment.
:16:10
-Yes, yes. What she means is...
-Excuse me.
:16:13
What are we really
talking about here?
:16:17
A thermonuclear explosion.
:16:20
-A what?
-Are you out of your mind?
:16:23
Doctor, do you concur with this?
:16:26
Yes, Mr. President, I do.
:16:30
The Pacific plate has already
moved 26.6 centimeters.
:16:34
Once it moves past
44 centimeters...
:16:37
nothing we can do
will have any effect.
:16:41
There will quite literally be
Hell on Earth.
:16:45
How large an explosion?
:16:48
15 megatons.
:16:50
A hundred times the explosion
that decimated Hiroshima.
:16:55
Where?
:16:56
Based on my calculations,
which are, in turn, based on...
