The movie, "The Day After Tomorrow" is essentially a fictional horror flick that was designed to make a lot of money for the investors and promoters of the movie.
The Movie has about as much connection to reality as the old "Godzilla" horror flicks.
Unfortunately the popular media makes its money by scaring the daylights out of people, not providing people with accurate information.
For accurate information about Global Warming you have to go to the peer reviewed professional scientific literature.
A very good place to start is the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports.
The IPCC reports are available at any good University library.
If you are not a student at a University that has the reports, you can often go to a University library that is close to you.
Explain to the librarian that you are researching the topic of Global Warming and Climate Change and that the only place that you can see the scientific material is at their University library.
Offer to pay a reasonable fee to help with the upkeep of the library.
In my experience, most University librarians will accept your offer and let you read and make copies of the material that you need.

Most movies are designed to entertain people, unless like Mike Moore, have another agenda. If you look back over the movies of the last 40 years, you can see how they use nature or natural events to make a good movie. Krakatoa East of Java, Volcano, Quake and yes, The Day After Tomorrow are all good and fun to watch. Could they happen???
Anything in nature is possible to a point, but the most important thing is, MAN cannot change that. If we knew that the earth was going to change its tilt on its axis, there is nothing we can do about it.
When Mt Saint Helen's blew up, all the tons of Sulfur-dioxide that was blown into the air, MAN cannot change that, so why loose sleep, get an ulcer or spend hours crying over things you cannot change??
If man would keep his stuff clean, or at least reduce it to reasonable levels, nature will fix the rest.
I like the guy who put up 120 million dollars for the first scientific evidence man is causing global warming, and no takers.

Large hail happens sometimes. Not often, but now and then. It always has and always will. It is not a "sign".

Just kill yourself and you won't have to see it. One less person might save the planet.
