Synopsis

Over the last few years, the United States has been increasingly heavily affected by extreme events.

In October 2012, the Sandy hurricane landed on the east coast and paralyzed New York for nearly 8 days. No less than 131 people lost their lives. Six months later, the small town of Moore, Oklahoma, is hit by 2 tornadoes within 10 days. 24 die, and an entire town is wiped off the map.

These extreme events are no longer exceptional. America refused to sign the Kyoto and Copenhagen protocols. But can the country still turn a deaf ear to these new dangers?
