The game currently has 5 levels, each level is huge and is designed to be more difficult than the previous one and each one with different puzzles and mechanics. Levels will be added in the future.

The film explores the same issue that Southern Europe and North America have been experiencing over the last few weeks," remarks Bill McGuire, a climate scientist, activist, and writer who also happens to share a name with one of the leading characters. "The film is a fantastic analogy for how global heating has sped up across the planet today, as the world is getting hotter and hotter." Soon governments have to declare a state of emergency, as water dries up and supplies dwindle, all as they try to figure out how to stop the Earth moving towards the Sun before it is too late. One of the smartest creative decisions that Guest and Mankowitz made while writing The Day the Earth Caught Fire was to show the film entirely from the perspective of journalists, rather than the politicians that are trying to solve the problem. The result is that Peter, Bill, and Jeannie are all completely powerless as the end of the world looms larger and larger. We have to learn the formula: when we take care of the ball, we give ourselves a chance,” Pistons coach Monty Williams said. “When we give it away, like we did in the fourth quarter, it's hard.” Access to robust disaster risk data is key for vulnerable countries like Belize to formulate evidence-based policy and adaptation actions, and to mobilize the required support for their implementation.

Yet, according to UNDRR, disaster risk information is an area showing slow progress in global multi-hazard early warning coverage. The situation is even worse in least developed countries and small island developing states. Sharing insights from the latest Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs, national climate action plans), Ningrum highlighted that Earth observations technologies and services can be a game-changer for raising ambition, accelerating climate action, mobilizing support and enhancing transparency in the implementation of the Paris Agreement. The Pistons led by one point in the first minute of the final quarter, but were outscored 39-17 in the fourth.

A critical component of this ambitious global initiative is technology and innovation to improve disaster risk knowledge and information. While it seemingly has the perfect title for the planet's current predicament, The Day the Earth Caught Fire's director Val Guest, who co-wrote it with Wolf Mankowitz, actually created the story to warn against the growing threat of nuclear war. I think the best novels out there on climate change show how people are affected in small communities," says McGuire, who has written several books and short stories on the subject. "Small personal stories are the best way of getting across to people how bad things are going to be in the future." The new GEO strategy focuses on providing trusted “Earth intelligence for all”, including governments and multilateral environmental agreements such as the Paris Agreement, offering insights and solutions that can inform strategic climate decisions.

The Early Warnings for All initiative is an example of global efforts to assist countries in ramping-up climate action and support to protect the most vulnerable through life-saving early warning systems,” said Gladden. Buddy Hield had 18 to continue his hot streak. In the last three games since being inserted into the lineup, he's scored 73 points and hit 16 of 25 3s. Obi Toppin and Bennedict Mathurin each scored 15.

We're the highest-scoring team on the planet,” Carlisle said of the NBA's No. 1 offense. “Teams are loading up, trying to figure out ways to slow us down.”

Guest and Mankowitz almost certainly knew that the science behind the film didn't quite add up, too – but they wanted to use this sensationalist predicament to generate a discussion about Russia and the US's approach to nuclear bombs. Their storytelling and depiction of the world falling into chaos is so strong that more than 60 years later, The Day the Earth Caught Fire is now stirringly resonant for a completely different reason. Over the last few weeks, record heatwaves have scorched the US, Europe, and China, so much so that the beginning of July had the hottest week the world has ever recorded. Despite the repeated pledges of countries to thwart the impact of climate change, global temperatures continue to rise. It's hard to know how to respond. That's exactly how the characters in The Day the Earth Caught Fire feel, too. The cult 1961 British sci-fi disaster film has several eerie similarities with how the world has reacted to the current climate emergency, and ends in a way that's both deeply depressing and a call to action. The TEC and GEO, with input from other Early Warnings for All partners, including the Green Climate Fund andthe Adaptation Fund, will develop a knowledge product highlighting technologies, innovation andtools that can improve disaster risk information sharing for policy makers and climate project teams. Lennox Gladden, TEC member, shared the experience of his home country, Belize. According to the Word Bank, Belize ranks eighth out of 167 countries facing climate risks. It suffers from frequent tropical storms and hurricanes, sea-level rise, floods, and extreme temperatures and drought, all causing economic, social and ecosystem losses.
