The Day After Tomorrow

I don't honestly see how effective this movie could be in teaching people the possible consequences of global warming. Climate changes take place over hundreds of years, and sudden climate changes (the kind in this movie) take place over a period of decades. Global warming isn't going to cause buckets of hail to suddenly drop on Japan, and it's not going to cause New York to flash-freeze. Global warming will raise ocean levels, flooding coastal marshes, which in turn will only force those same marches to move further inland. Global warming will cause higher and lower temperatures in hotter and colder areas respectively because of droughts and the possible slowing or shutdown of the thermohaline ciculation.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I intend to. I intend to watch it solely for the special effects, because the entire premise of the movie is just a bit too silly to take seriously.

Well, the end effect the movie shows is an accurate one of global warming, but the process is not. In the movie this all happens over this 7-10 day storm front, whereas in real life, it would take approximately 50 years, from what I've heard.

This movie is retarded, the acting was just plain horrible. I admit, the graphics were pretty good, but that's the only thing I liked about it. The whole movie was global warming facts, like the few scenes where they were all talking and the guy was like "I thought we were talking about global warming, how does this bring on an iceage." You want to know why, because it fucking doesn't. They just threw in big words and left out the key facts that would explain why the fuck global warming had to do with 3 big storms to make people think it can happen. And the whole part at the end was so stupid I DID GET UP AND LEAVE.

Actually when the earth warms up too much the tetonic plates will shift, Volcanoes will erupt, Cold air and warm air flows will circulate into each other, causing many storms, etc etc.
