No, 'The Day After Tomorrow' was pure Hollywood bull.
The closest possible realistic scenario to that film would be if the Greenland Ice Sheet were to melt. This would have 2 potential effects:
1) Sea level rise of 23 feet.
2) Potentially stopping the thermal conveyor in the Atlantic, putting Europe into an ice age.
It's hard to say when this will happen. Maybe in 50 years, maybe 100, maybe never if we reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. It's impossible to say what will happen without knowing how our greenhouse gas emissions will change in the future. There will almost certainly be more heat waves, droughts, water shortages, food shortages, floods, probably stronger hurricanes, etc. It will impact people in third world countries the most.

I think that the world goes through cycles and global warming is just one of them. The earth has been here a long time and gone through many changes. I think raping the earth for its natural resources is far more damaging and has more potential for disaster than all the theorising about the effects of this and that on the future of the planet.

the day after tomorrow, just like global warming, is science FICTION.
famine
mass death
shifting of food production regions
climate change
overpopulation
global cooling
mass starvation
massive glaciers
uninhabitable places on earth
running out of fossil fuel
pollution physically altering man (through adaptation)
all this was supposed to happen by the year 2000, and if man didn't stop using fossil fuels. we had 30+ years of "irrefutable data" showing that man caused it too.
but we didn't stop, we used more!
STRANGELY, NOT ONE PREDICTION HAS CAME TRUE YET!
now i'm supposed to "believe" global warming is "real"

Yea, we're all doomed. The world is coming to an end. It's time to out on the sandwich board and tell everyone it's time to repent.

to many CO2, its break the ozon layer, then global warming, then ice melting from the pole, sea level get higher, and we'll collapse??
