This isn't science fiction, let's call it Futuristic fiction. Set in a convincing reality. Opens 25 years from now with a devastating heatwave in India that drives everyone into the river, where they are nearly boiled like lobsters. Postulates what'll happen if we continue to lack the will to take strict measures to halt climate change. Hopscotches from the Antarctic ice shelf -where a possible solution is to re-freeze the melting glaciers- to Davos where a climate summit is besieged by eco-terrorists. All frighteningly believable...and a fierce wake-up call for us to conquer this inertia and DO SOMETHING!!! Well worth disregarding the uneven structure to marvel at the great episodes. Get it.
