I almost met Natalie Portman who's good in Garden State. "hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and droughts unleashed a wave of destruction upon our planet. We didn't just lose towns or beachfronts. We lost entire cities. The East River swallowed Lower Manhattan. A heat wave in Madrid killed two million people in just one day. But in that moment, facing our own extinction, it became clear that no single nation could solve this problem alone. The world came together as one, and we fought back. Scientists from 17 countries, lead by the U.S. and China, worked tirelessly. Not as representative of their nations, but of humanity. They found a way to neutralize storms with a net of thousands of satellites each deploying countermeasures designed to impact the basic elements of weather, heat, pressure and water, all overseen by the International Space Station."
