We’re Not in Kansas Anymore… and Neither Are the Tornadoes: Emergency Command Force on Global Climate Disaster
Gathered around a fold-out table on collapsable chairs as the wind threatens to topple their flimsy tent, this group of world leaders, scientists, and military personnel is keenly aware of how far they are from the usual comforts of a board room. It has been a week since climate disasters began to ravage civilizations all across the globe: from the tornadoes that swept over Los Angeles, to the hail storm that pummelled Tokyo, damages get worse and worse by the day. Fearful civilians look desperately to expert guidance: that, delegates, is where you come in. It is from this makeshift command post in an undisclosed neutral location that you will use the unprecedented authority granted to you by this emergency situation to dispatch aid to stranded civilians, address critical blows to infrastructure, and re-establish order following widespread communication blackouts. After the crisis is averted, you will be left to consider the importance of and process for sounding the climate alarm. That is, if the day after tomorrow ever arrives.
