‭MOVIE ‘GEOSTORM’: SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY AND CLIMATE‬

‭1.‬ ‭What was the purpose of the satellites in‬‭Geostorm‬‭?‬


‭a) To provide internet access worldwide.‬
‭b) To monitor wildlife populations.‬
‭c) To control and prevent extreme weather.‬
‭d) To create solar energy for the planet.‬

‭2.‬ ‭Who is the main character in the movie tasked with‬


‭solving the satellite problem?‬
‭a) Max Lawson‬
‭b) Jake Lawson‬
‭c) Ed Harris‬
‭d) Andy García‬

‭3.‬ ‭What is the main problem in the movie "Geostorm"?‬


‭A satellite system meant to control the weather malfunctions, leading to catastrophic‬
‭storms around the world.‬

‭4.‬ ‭What role do Jake and Max play in solving the problem?‬
‭Jake, the satellite system's designer, works to fix the malfunction from the space station,‬
‭while Max, his brother, uncovers and stops a conspiracy on Earth to use the satellites as‬
‭weapons. Together, they collaborate to prevent the Geostorm and save the planet.‬

‭5.‬ ‭Fill in the gaps.‬

‭ he malfunctioning satellites in‬‭Geostorm‬‭caused a‬‭massive ___________ that‬


T
‭threatened the entire planet. In‬‭Geostorm‬‭, the satellite‬‭system was originally created to‬
‭protect the Earth from ___________ but ended up creating a global disaster.‬

‭6.‬ ‭What is the purpose of the satellite system? How does it help us?‬
‭The satellite system was designed to prevent extreme weather events and protect the‬
‭planet from the effects of climate change.‬

‭7.‬ ‭List major disasters shown in the movie caused by the‬


‭malfunctioning satellite system.‬
‭A massive tidal wave in Dubai.‬
‭Freezing temperatures in Rio de Janeiro.‬
‭A devastating storm in Hong Kong.‬
‭8.‬ ‭The movie features satellites controlling the weather.‬

‭In reality, is this possible? Why or why not?‬

‭No, it is not currently possible. Controlling weather requires manipulating complex‬


‭natural systems, which is far beyond our current technology.‬

‭9.‬ ‭What are some real-life examples of technology used to monitor or predict weather?‬

‭●‬ ‭Weather satellites like AQUA, NOAA and GOES.‬


‭●‬ ‭Radar systems to track storms.‬

‭10.‬‭What do you think are the potential dangers of trying to control the weather using A.I‬
‭and data analysing technology?‬

‭Unintended consequences, such as disrupting ecosystems.‬


‭The risk of misuse, like turning weather control into a weapon.‬

‭11.‬ ‭The movie highlights the impact of climate change. What are‬
‭some real-life effects of climate change on Earth today?‬
‭Rising global temperatures.‬
‭Melting polar ice and rising sea levels.‬
‭More frequent and severe natural disasters like‬
‭hurricanes and droughts.‬

‭12.‬‭What lessons can we learn from "Geostorm" about the importance of protecting the‬
‭environment?‬

‭The movie shows that relying solely on technology to solve environmental problems can‬
‭be risky. It emphasizes the need for global cooperation and sustainable practices to‬
‭address climate change.‬
‭13.‬‭If you were in charge of a global weather system, what safeguards would you put in‬
‭place to prevent a disaster like in "Geostorm"?‬

‭Create fail-safe systems to prevent malfunction.‬


‭Establish international oversight to prevent misuse.‬
‭Regular maintenance and updates to ensure reliability.‬

‭14.‬‭Do you think the movie presents a realistic solution to climate change? Why or why not?‬

‭No, because it oversimplifies the complexity of addressing climate change. Real solutions‬
‭involve reducing emissions, conserving resources, and making systemic changes rather‬
‭than solely relying on technology.‬

‭15.‬‭Design your own weather-monitoring system!‬


‭●‬ ‭Name of your system:‬
‭●‬ ‭How does it work?‬
‭●‬ ‭How would it help prevent natural disasters?‬

‭16.‬‭Write a short review of "Geostorm."‬

‭What did you like or dislike about the movie?‬

‭What could have been done better?‬
