Hall er vitne til at en isblokk på størrelse med Rhode Island brytes løs fra det antartiske kontinentet. En serie stadig mer alvorlige værfenomener begynner så å inntreffe rundt på kloden. Hagl store som grapefrukter bombarderer Tokyo, rekordstore orkaner dundrer løs på Hawaii, snøen faller tett i New Dehli, og en serie tornados gjør sitt beste for å ødelegge Los Angeles. En telefon fra Halls skotske kollega, professor Rapson, bekrefter hans bange anelser: disse ekstreme værfenomener er symptomer på en massiv global strukturendring.
