Yeah, it does suck. One of the reasons that I like The Day After Tomorrow, even though that could NEVER happen, is that it's like shock therapy. The last ten years are the hottest years in recorded history. And very few people are doing anything about it.

^ But they say that it could really happen of the global temperature continues to rise. My Earth Science teacher and Astrophysics teacher both told me theoretically, it could happen. Well, maybe not all of the event that occurred in the movie would happen..
QUOTE The initial idea that an increase in freshwater could cause a slowdown or stop of the thermohaline circulation has some probability. However, simulations generally show a gradual slowdown over a timescale of centuries rather than days and overall the temperature continues to warm. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Day_After...is.2FcriticismsThe continually rising temperatures would cause the ice caps to melt and it would cause the salinity of the ocean to decrease. That would definitely cause a drastic change in the global climate. Maybe not enough to freeze half of the Earth, but it would cause a lot of chaos.\ And check out this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6189600.stm Carbon emissions are going up by 2.5%. In 2000, it was only 1%. The US really needs to ratify the Kyoto Protocol.

Global warming does indeed suck...if we americans keep living life like this we may not be able to give a good life to the future ahead....Tsunamis can just spawn out of no where now. Increase in natural disasters.

Some of it could happen, but it could never, under any realistic circumstances, happen that quickly. |
