Alfred Tennyson must be chuckling in his grave at this howler: "It's better to leap and fall than never leap at all".
Better to leap in scientific uncertainty and then reconsider, they say, than dally and watch in grief and pain as a species slides toward extinction and all the best-laid schemes of protection are dashed.
We follow Mike's exploits as if we were clinging to a guardrail, watching in awe as he rescues Mr. Jimmy, strives to engage the emergency generator, and climbs to a perilous height, the better to leap for his life, with the ocean blazing below.

Unlike the better-known leap year, which adds a day to February in a familiar four-year cycle, the leap second is tacked on once every few years to synchronize atomic clocks -- the world's scientific timekeepers -- with Earth's rotational cycle, which, sadly, does not run quite like clockwork.
Unlike the better-known leap year, which adds a day to February in a familiar four-year cycle (with a few well-defined exceptions), the leap second is tacked on once every few years to synchronize atomic clocks — the world's scientific timekeepers — with Earth's rotational cycle, which, sadly, does not run quite like clockwork.
