Could scenes from the film ' The day after tomorrow' ever happen?

Answer 1

Sadly the movie "The Day After Tomorrow" is an example of the media hype, exaggerations and fabrication associated with the topic of Global Warming.

Actually the science on Global Warming in very good.

Unfortunately people who are hostile to addressing the subject of Global Warming use the ridiculous exagerration and fabrication in movies such as "The Day After Tomorrow" to damage the credibility of serious scientists who do solid research on the subject of Global Warming.

Ridiculous movies such as "The Day After Tomorrow" do far more harm than good with respect to the general knowledge and awareness of Global Warming among members of the lay public.

Answer 2

I hate these people who keep saying Global Warming is a movie.

Actually it's three movies - Day After Tomorrow, Waterworld, and Al Gore's movie.

Answer 3

I think the real fear is that scenes from 'Titanic' could ever come true.

Firstly, who in their right mind would build a ship THAT old-looking. I mean jeeeeeeeeez get with the times man!

Secondly, why would those people dress so old fashioned? The only place you find them clothes is on dead people! But they dead! So you can't have them on a boat! Or drowning! Cos they dead! Like 6 feet under!

That's pretty much a nightmare to me, that and Kate Winslets dress - it just clashes with her complexion.

Never
Arm
Respectable
K-nothing for K, sorry!

Answer 4

No they couldn't. The film takes the science of global warming and climate change and distorts it into nothing more than a Hollywood movie. The principles have their basis in science but such catastrophic events aren't even remotely possible. Some of the events depicted couldn't happen, other could happen but over a period of decades or centuries, not a matter of days.

Answer 5

Drastic climate shifts like the one in the movie are possible, but not in matter of days or hours like the movie implies. That's a totally absurd scenario.

If however the gulf streams north atlantic warm water engine shifts far south or diminishes drastically over time, the climate of the Northeastern US, Iceland and Northern Europe will get much colder fast. Fast in climatic terms though is a few years not days. That couldn't happen

Answer 6

No.

But it wouldn't have been as fantastic if it took the great number of years that such events normally occur in.

Could such events take place over YOUR lifetime - yes, in principle, but not likely to the degree depicted in the movie.

Answer 7

Yes, they will, the more people say it won't the dumber they are.
You've been warned, when you're freezing to death or drowning in water, then you'll realise that you were wrong all those years ago... and you could have tried to changed the consequences....but you didn't because you weren't bothered to....

Answer 8

Climate change is all around us, just look at the UK weather this year, it may not happen in our lifetime but it will happen eventually unless we all start protecting our planet, their will be no hero's at the end of the day only survivors of the big freeze, some countries have already experienced colder fronts.

Answer 9

I don't see why not ?, too many people are taking what we have on this earth for granted and have become complacent !.

Nothing is guaranteed and all it takes is a rise in temperatures and the land based ice mass to melt to cause severe flooding, or a giant volcano to erupt and cover the earth in a blanket of dust and the temperatures will plummet !.

So many things could go wrong in a very short space of time, and we are no way prepared for any of it ?.

Answer 10

I believe we will go through another catastrophic, world changing weather event. As we evolve, so do our needs. When this event takes place, only the strong will survive. It is truly "survival of the fittest".
