Okay, I'll soon be into the home stretch. After this month, I have only the last quarter to deal with--three more silly disasters to round out 2012's collection.
Am I running out of ideas, getting desperate, piggybacking off earlier stuff? Oh, yeah. That's old news--it happened months ago. Here, I'm using something similar to July's idea, with a slightly different twist.
Here's my inspiration:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2095571/Natural-tilts-earths-axis-alter-temperature-cause-ice-ages-says-Harvard-scientist.html
And here's the prompt:
The earth's tilt is changing . Not only is it causing deglaciation, but a lot of other problems. This is a true disaster, with no hope of saving the majority. Your hero has to make a decision over who can be saved, and where that can best be accomplished.
Unlike a certain disaster movie, our hero realizes that, if his goal is to preserve humanity, concentrating his efforts on saving a bunch of old men is probably not his best option. And in practice, that means he can't count on the support of the politicians.
