When i watched the film, the day after tomorrow, i was like wow, impossible, this cant happen! But with all this strange climate changes, i wonder to myself... where are we heading? What do you guys think?

Actually, the frightening thing about that movie is that it does actually have realistic qualities. So i truly see an ice age of that magnitude arrowing towards us in the next month? no. but it does have it's basis in reality, and to what we're doing to this planet. Between polar ice caps melting and changing the temperature in the ocean, that affecting, well, basically everything. From the weather, to food chains in the ocean that we as humans rely on...everything.

Its true, just watch An Inconvenient Truth and you'll see. We have so little time to try and make things right. Global Warming is happening right now and will only get worse. Europe will go into an ice age, 1/2 of china and india will flood. Alaska, Antartica and 1/2 of Canada will be no more. Some of Florida, Claifornia adn other states will be under water. While everywhere else will be scorching! We have to do something about this!

In fact the Ice Age has not ended. The whole of human civilisation has existed in a temporary warm period, an interglacial period. The climate today is in fact cooler than it has been in past warm periods, for example during the Roman period there where grapes being grown as far north as Yorkshire in England - archaeologists have found evidence of this. Today, it is not possible to do grow grapes that far north, it's to cold. People who study past climates know that it can change very quickly and the scenario in "The Day After Tomorrow" is about such a rapid climate shift caused by the failure of the Gulf Stream circulation. That would give Western Europe a much colder climate practically overnight.

The relatively warm and stable climate that humanity has enjoyed for the past 10000 years will inevitably give way to a new ice age

yes an ice age will happen sometime swn...not in our lifetime, but we r due for one. and the ice age in the day after tomorrow is nothin like how it wud rele happen. on the scale of tht type of ice age, it would take about 300 years to get like tht in real life. but i cant understand how we r heading for one when people are always moaning about the planet warming up??
