Scene from CLIMATE:
EXT. - HAWAIIAN LUAU Drums POUND louder as Hina and the hula dancers arrive on stage. The dancers, now including Kalei, form a circle. The musicians stop playing. HINA On this sacred spring day when dark and light are in balance, please join us in a special prayer for the earth. |
A single ukulele accompanies Kalei dancing the hula as she stands in the center of the circle, dressed as the earth. She begins to wobble. The musicians join in and the dancers dance in spiral motions, like waves of energy, in rainbows of color. As the dancers move about her, she wobbles less and less until she spins in perfect balance. As Kalei moves, the audience CLAP in tune, louder and louder until they erupt in unison. The stage suddenly goes dark.

Had the eruption come nine days earlier, when the ignition spot on the solar surface was aimed at Earth, it would have hit the planet, potentially wreaking havoc with the electrical grid, disabling satellites and GPS, and disrupting our increasingly electronic lives.
