"This season 3 episode begins with Earth steadily moving closer to the sun. The story primarily revolves around two inhabitants of a #NewYorkCity apartment building dealing with the #ExtremeHeat as the planet pushes closer to extinction. In true Twilight Zone fashion, those events are revealed to be a dream but the opposite is actually true. The Big Apple’s temperature is actually plummeting as the planet moves further away from the sun.
"Earth succumbing to #ExtremeTemperature changes is a familiar narrative. The 'greenhouse effect' and 'global warming' are terms we are all too familiar with today. #ClimateChange has caused environmental havoc like out of control fires and the melting of polar ice caps.
"There are heated political debates over what to do or what not to do about climate change while humanity’s future hangs in the balance. Unlike Earth in The Midnight Sun, at least our Earth has a chance to avoid impending doom."
Well, that's a bit optimistic, eh?
