CW-7 was a cooling agent that was used to cool down the temperatures of the planet in response to climate change.
History
Background
CW-7 proved to be too effective and instead froze the planet, starting a new ice age so extreme that no life could survive it. Before CW-7 was released, Joseph Wilford predicted that CW-7 would freeze the planet, which led him to convert Snowpiercer from Luxury Liner to an Ark.
Season 2
After finding it to be snowing out, Melanie Cavill realized that CW-7 may have begun to break up in the upper atmosphere and fall to Earth, meaning that the planet might be warming and may potentially become habitable again in the survivors' lifetime rather than in a thousand years. Melanie set out to prove her theory using an abandoned research station and weather balloons released by Snowpiercer across the planet to collect data and build a climate model in the hopes of finding a location that could potentially be recolonized.
After being recovered by Andre Layton and Alex, Melanie's data shows several areas that are warming in most of Central America, parts of the top and bottom of South America, Spain and southwest Europe, much of the upper parts of Africa as well as the Middle East, parts of Asia, South Africa and Madagascar, and about two-thirds of Australia. However, North America still appears to be completely frozen over with no warm areas.
Description
According to the Headwoods on the theory that the Earth is warming (based on the snow sample taken by Melanie Cavill), the CW-7 may have been buried in a larger compound, Ammonium Sulfate, and if that's what it was, in the quantities they saw, the theory holds.
Appearances
- Season One
- Season Two
Trivia
- Contrary to the movie, in the TV Series, the CW-7 was released by missiles rather than planes.
- In the graphic novels, CW-7 was a weapon of mass destruction that was activated during a war, but who activated it first is currently unknown.
