Do you think that there is a possibility that the events that happened in The Day After Tomorrow can happen?

Answer 1

it was an exaggeration, but similar events could happen due to golbal warming. but that probaly wont happen for another thousand years or so

Answer 2

yes, they can

the last ice age only took 10 years to radically alter the earth's weather, ocean currents do periodically change especially with artic melt in full gear. Volcanic eruptions of magnitude 4 and higher can cause winter to last years especially if it produces enough smoke to blanket the mezosphere. This has happened in the last 200 years.

The movie is sensationalized for the sake of dramatic depiction.

We are currently having the warmest winter anyone can recall in the US. The snows haven't come and the last two years were record breaking as far as heat averages.

It doesn't have to be dramatic and sudden to be severe. But neither does that mean that it won't be severe because it plays out in years and decades rather than weeks and months like the movie.

Within the last couple years. The eastern coast of South America experienced it's first hurricane/typhoon ever in memory. Australia found out what it is like to be Florida on a bad year with a string of cyclonic storms. Typhoons have hit Asia iwith uncharacteristic intensity and frequency. This is not hype but just sobering data. The hype is in interpreting it.

Answer 3

I don't know about the freezing part but the tornado part HAS not only happened but on a worse scale than the movie.

In Oklahoma in 1999 on may 5th? we had something like 65 tornadoes in one four hour span so it can happen. And one of them is the recordholder for highest wind speeds ever recorded at 318 MPH. If it had been 319 MPH then it would have been the first F6 tornado on record!!! That was a bad one, it killed 45 people in spite of the Oklahoma City area having had over one hour warning that a tornado was coming.

The record for most tornado's in one night for a given area is well over 100 so The Day After Tomorrow people had it easy!!

Answer 4

There is certainly a possibility, likely a probability, of another ice age but it will not occur as depicted in the film. The freezing descending air in the centre of a low pressure system is not possible. As air blows into the centre of lows, it has only one direction to go when it gets there and that is up.

Even if it were possible for the air to descend it would be warming rather than cooling. Descending air is compressed and warms.

Answer 5

All the events that happened in that movie do happen, year to year, just not all in one day or one area.

Answer 6

the movie was probably an exaggeration, but there are very cold temperatures in the upper atmosphere and a superstorm could potentially pull those temperatures down to the earth, so it's possible that something similar could happen..

Answer 7

No. The movie was terrible, and an overdramatization of what could happen over many years rather than days.

Even when you poor liquid nitrogen on things, they don't freeze as fast as things froze in that movie. That was just ridiculous.

Answer 8

if man continues on his path of abusing the earth then yes, but the question is, will God let it happen? consider what is said at isaiah 45:18 "...For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the [true] God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited..."
God created the world to be inhabited and will not let man completely destroy the earth, but will intervene at the right time. consider dan2:44.

Answer 9

No! That would not happen over a few weeks it would take more like a few centurys . It could also never be so drastic.

Answer 10

It was made in Hollywood to scare some people, and it worked, but it's hardly possible.
