Extrapolations - First Season

Is here good?

That works.

Okay.

What happens when the corporations that control our world

tell us we have to go to 2.1, 2.2?

We can't.

Is there anything you need?

For people to listen.

Hologram going live in three, two...

I was born in 2015,

when the world went to Paris and was issued a warning.

Scientists told us way back then that if the average temperature on Earth

increased beyond 1.5 degrees Celsius,

there would be devastating consequences.

And they were right. Just look around.

Today is July 16th, 2037.

The highly anticipated climate change meeting, COP42,

continues today in Israel amidst urgent cries for action and hope--

Yet here we are in 2037

considering the possibility of an increase of 2 degrees.

No!

World markets posted record gains today,

with demand for batteries and pharmaceuticals leading the way...

But what happens after two?

What happens when the corporations that are destroying our world

say that our economies will fail

if we don't allow the temperatures to rise by 2.1 or 2.2 degrees?

Nick Bilton, CEO of Alpha Industries,

is rumored to have invested in a new casino project above the Arctic Circle.

Wherever the future leads, we know we're going there together.

Bilton's partner in the enterprise is none other than controversial developer,

you-know-who.

Friends, Nick Bilton is not coming to save us.

No!

We must save ourselves.

Inside that building right now, the powers that be are negotiating your future.

But you can't negotiate with a fire.

Or a flood.

Or a famine.

If we go to 2, it's the end of me and you!

If we go to 2, it's the end of me and you!

A priest, a rabbi and an imam are all fishing together on a boat

in the middle of a lake.

And the priest realizes he left his fishing rod in the car.

So the priest, he turns to his colleagues, and he says, "Hey, I'll be right back."

He gets out of the boat. He walks across the water to the beach.

He goes to the car. He gets back across the water and gets into the boat.

The rabbi is amazed. The priest just walked on water.

About 30 minutes later, the imam says, "I have to go to the toilet."

So, he stands up, steps out of the boat, walks across the water to the beach,

finds the nearest men's room, walks back across the water and gets into the boat.

The rabbi stares dumbfounded.

But he thinks, "Well, my faith is at least as strong as theirs."

So, he says, "Uh... I'm a little thirsty.

There's a-- There's a snack bar over there on the beach. Excuse me."

He stands up, puts his feet in the water. Splash. Sinks like a stone.

- And then he-- - I told you that joke. That's my joke.

I love that joke.

And it's "refreshment stand," not "snack bar."

Are you sure you wanna make jokes your first day as a rabbi?

Yeah. Well, first of all, rabbis are supposed to tell jokes.

And secondly, it's a perfect description of the job.

That's what I'm doing. I'm helping people find a way through difficult passages.

That's what I do at the center.

How are you helping people with no homes

by sending them to other places where they have no homes?

Dad, it's not their fault they don't have homes. It's-- They were--

I gotta get this.

- Hello, Junior. - They were displaced.

Are you there yet?

Marshall, how long has it been like this?

I can barely breathe in this air.

Ugh. So much smoke from the looting.

Um, no, Ma. There's no looting. That's forest fires in Eshtaol and Tzora.

When you were born, we planted trees there in your honor.

I was hoping to go.

Well, maybe if you guys come back and visit for the holidays,

the fires will be out and I can take you.

So, you're staying here? That's what you've decided?

Yes, Ma. I-- I told you, I wanna stay.

I know. And I'm telling you, your father has other expectations.

There are laws, Junior. That's all I'm saying.

If the land is designated as protected, then there could be issues.

I have it on good authority

there will be exemptions on this protected lands bullshit.

How do you know?

How do I know? Oh, um, I have an app on my phone that tells me the future.

Don't be such a-- What do you call it? A putz .

If Mr. Bilton knows something ab--

No, I don't wanna discuss it on this line, or any line, or email.

I'm gonna be back in Miami on Friday. I can see you then.

Look, I wouldn't be here if Bilton didn't want this to happen. Goodbye.

I'm not back till Mon--

- Where is that? - What?

Outside. That doesn't look like Russia.

It just says, "tropical." I mean, I'm not even sure it exists.

Oh.

Oh, shit! Look at it out there.

It's from the forest fire in Ozera.

The firemen just quit over wages, and it's burning out of control.

750,000 acres. That is happening right now.

Well then, good thing we're leaving.

Is there any special song you want me to sing tomorrow?

Yes. One that makes people wanna give me their money.

Protests have erupted in major cities

across Europe and the US today over the perceived lack of progress

at the Tel Aviv climate talks.

Issues on the table at Tel Aviv include strengthening prohibitions

against development in protected areas.

Could you turn this shit off?

Namaste , Hannah. Shall we begin?

- Om . - Om .

Okay. Give me a minute.

No, we gotta keep going, Becca.

Why the fuck did I do this?

Get pregnant or take a job counting ravens in the middle of the woods?

Maybe this is nature's way of telling us to stop making babies.

Still an hour to the evac spot. Come on.

Ah, shit. You were right.

We should've left yesterday.

Hey. It's not your fault the wind shifted.

Oh, great. It's Omar.

Are you gonna answer it?

And say what?

Sorry, I can't talk right now,

I'm in the middle of a forest fire with your unborn son.

Come on.

Germany and Italy are losing crops to drought and infestation.

Austria and Poland are dealing with nationalist movements.

Raising the number of people the EU is willing to take in right now

is a hard ask.

We need to focus on temperature.

So where do you suggest we tell our people to go?

They have no water.

I think we'd all prefer to solve the problems

that make people leave their homes in the first place.

Agreed.

The goal here is consensus on temperature.

Keeping it below 2 degrees is critical.

If the temperature goes up 2 degrees or 10 degrees,

it doesn't matter if you have no water.

You catch more flies with honey.

Who are you right now?

An Algerian or a Frenchman?

We're willing to support certain proposals

related to temperature and carbon as long as our basic needs are guaranteed.

Can you elaborate on the term "basic needs"?

Unlimited refuge in Europe?

Water. Water.

We'd like access to state of the art

desalinization and purification technology.

And what do you mean by "access"?

The patents and designs developed by Alpha Hydro Solutions.

You think Nicholas Bilton is going to just give you his patents

because we ask nicely?

Okay. Drought leads to instability.

Look at Sudan in '24. Cape Town in '27.

Look at the west. Argentina, 2033--

Look here. We have made such progress in the region.

Israel and a Palestinian state are living side by side in peace,

but it can still all unravel so fast.

Is that a threat?

A threat?

No, it's an invitation.

I have to take that call. Okay?

We need water.

Mr. Bilton does not give things away for free,

so we need to be prepared for what he will ask for in return.

We have 3,000 reservations already. Did I tell you who's doing the interiors?

- You said Kanye. Still Kanye? - Yeah! Yeah.

Oh.

I put together a schedule.

From groundbreaking to grand opening, nine months.

A wise man once said,

"What the bulldozers and dump trucks do doesn't matter,

so long as they do a lot of it."

Can you believe these people?

Hard to imagine they can march with their heads up their asses.

They say ice sheet in Greenland is gonna break down the middle.

- 79N ice sheet. - Great, we'll build there next.

They say three-meter sea level rise by the end of the century.

"They"? They also said the same thing about Miami.

All we did was make a fortune retrofitting the buildings.

And guess what? When it goes up another couple of inches,

we'll retro-fucking-fit again and make even more money.

Here's what you need to know about global warmings.

It will all go to shit at the end of the century. One hundred percent.

We'll be dead. We'll have to miss it,

but we'll be smiling in gold-plated coffins designed by Kanye.

- So, let's focus on the now. - Mmm.

Top of the World Casino is gonna be the best casino in the world

'cause there's nothing else like it.

Holy shit.

Would you look at that?

If we go to 2...

Oh, thank God. The trolls finally shut her up.

So then you're planning to keep it empty for the foreseeable future?

Never mind, Marshall. Forget it.

I'll go ride a bike in the gym or something.

Yes, I understand.
