"Après les pluies diluviennes ayant submergé Washington et sa région, drame évoqué dans Les quarante signes de la pluie, les eaux ont commencé à se retirer, mais la situation se complique. Frank Vanderwal, qui a décidé d'élire domicile dans une cabane en haut d'un arbre, apprend qu'il est sous haute surveillance..."

"As a result of climate change, Antarctica's ice shelves collapse, sending low-lying island nations beneath the rising waters, and crops fail world-wide. When winter comes, frigid temperatures hit the Eastern Seaboard and Western Europe. As people starve and freeze to death, multinational corporations explore how to profit from the disaster. Meanwhile, in Washington D.C., scientists continue in their struggle to overcome government resistence to implementing vital environmental policies while frantically searching for a way to shift weather patterns and save the planet from another devastating Ice Age."@en

"Set in our nation's capital, here is a chillingly realistic tale of people caught in the collision of science, technology, and the consequences of global warming--which could trigger another phenomenon: abrupt climate change, resulting in temperatures ... When the storm got bad, scientist Frank Vanderwal was at work, formalizing his return to the National Science Foundation for another year. He'd left the building just in time to help sandbag at Arlington Cemetery. Now that the torrent was over, large chunks of San Diego had eroded into the sea, and D.C. was underwater. Shallow lakes occupied the most famous parts of the city. Reagan Airport was awash and the Potomac had spilled beyond its banks. Rescue boats dotted the saturated cityscape. Everything Frank and his colleagues in the halls of science and politics feared had culminated in this massive disaster. And now the world looked to them to fix it. Whatever Frank can do, now that he is homeless, he'll have to do from his car. He's not averse to sleeping outdoors. Years of research have made him hyperaware of his status as just another primate. That plus his encounter with a Tibetan Buddhist has left him resolved to live a more authentic life. Hopefully, this will prepare him for whatever is to come ... For even as D.C. bails out from the flood, a more extreme climate change looms. With the melting of the polar ice caps shutting down the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, another Ice Age could be imminent. The last time it happened, eleven thousand years ago, it took just three years to start."@en
"De gevolgen van de opwarming van het klimaat en een naderende ijstijd zijn op korte termijn een uitdaging voor Amerikaanse wetenschappers."
