5 years from now, the world and humanity are dying. Over one hundred years of abuse has intoxicated the planet to the point of no return. The seas have dried up, the animals are dead and vegetation will no longer grow in the contaminated earth. A select group of humans (mostly politicians and their families) have evacuated the earth while a group of 12 scientists remain to attempt to make the planet habitable again.

The idea that human activities could influence global climate first emerged more than a hundred years ago, when the Swedish scientist Arrhenius warned that burning coal could lead to global warming. The tracks on this album take a historical look at the systematic study of weather and climate, from the amateur scientists of the Mannheim group in the late 18th century to the professional climate scientists of the present day. The album draws on material originally created to support The Open University course Exploring Science.
