The show is set in a time seven years after an ice age hits the earth and human civilization, leaving it as a frozen wasteland. The series depict the predicament of remaining people, who inhabit a gigantic, perpetually-moving train that circles the globe.

Climate change is no longer an illusion, for we are experiencing its consequences in reality. 

We witness how excessive rise in temperature leads to a rise in ocean water level, depletion of ozone due to global warming, and many more. We fail to address the other side of this extremism in weather conditions. In the past decade, the temperature has dropped significantly in certain parts of the earth. Blizzards are predicted to become more intense in the face of climate change, despite shorter winters and rising global temperatures. Excessive snow makes it difficult for civilians to exist. 

The show is based on such a dystopian “Snowpocalypse” situation only. The nations release the substance CW-7 to control global warming, but accidentally it results in another Ice Age destroying the earth. 

It portrays how humanity perishes from the wrath of mother earth. In the train itself, humans are compartmentalized based on their wealth and social standing. The remaining common people are forced to live in dreadful conditions in the last wagons i.e. tail of the train with the bare minimum. It shows the divided nature of society and how under such life-threatening circumstances a new class system emerges. 

Despite scientific predicaments and propagated theories, the lifelines in the upcoming decades seem a blur. Until and unless some serious steps are taken, the fear continues to loom on us. 

Therefore, time demands a dire need for a holistic approach to adjudicating the prevailing environmental issues. All the world governments should come together and address such issues, for the benefit of humanity.
