A researcher has produced a scientific study of the climate scenario featured in the disaster movie 'The Day After Tomorrow'. In the 2004 film, climate warming caused an abrupt collapse of the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC), leading to catastrophic events such as tornadoes destroying Los Angeles, New York being flooded and the northern hemisphere freezing. Although the scientific credibility of the film drew criticism from climate scientists, the scenario of an abrupt collapse of the AMOC, as a consequence of anthropogenic greenhouse warming, was never assessed with a state-of-the-art climate model.Now scientists have found that, for a period of 20 years, the earth will cool instead of warm if global warming and a collapse of the AMOC occur simultaneously.

The movie was based on the book (”The Coming Global Super Storm”) by Art Bell and Whitley Strieber.
The Quickening is slackening.
What about two days before the day after tomorrow?
Is that possible?
Forget that nonsense..this is what keeps me up at night!!!
Sorry..that's yesterday's news...
” tornadoes destroying Los Angeles, New York being flooded”. Care to take a stab at the downside here? Kinda like San Adreas, the movie. Downside?
silly movie...plot holes galore. Love that fact there was “Global Warming” in the USA only....but not Mexico...and American’s had to flee over the border to Mexico...Liberals are bizarre...
Recently an aussie math scientist proved the underlying programming on climate models are flawed in two places...
garbage in garbage out...
CO2 is 1/10 th the impact they thought it had...
That’s why the empirical data wasn’t matching the models..
I know, shocking news...
Flying lawyers invading New York?
I’m more worried about “One Second After” happening...
Geez. Too bad. Art and Whitley had a sequel ready.
Major Ed Dames can remote view it.
Thermodynamics. A whole branch of physics which seems to get pretty short shrift in these “settled science” discussions.
Heat simply does not transfer that fast, and especially with water. Water is a HUGE reservoir of heat energy, and to cause water either to absorb or give up this heat energy involves a HUGE amount of simple inertia involved with every molecule of water.
Water can exist in any one of three states of matter simultaneously, as a solid, ice; as liquid water; and as a gas, water vapor. To change from solid to a liquid takes a surprising amount of energy, and to change from a liquid to a gas takes an even greater magnitude of energy. This energy has to be either drawn from somewhere, or be dispersed to somewhere else, before these changes in the state of matter can occur.
With water, you simply cannot move these great amounts of heat at anything like “quickly” and for sure, not instanteously.
Good point, thanks.
He of the alien abduction "non-fiction" books? He has a very vivid imagination - I'm thinking window-pane, maybe?
“leading to catastrophic events such as tornadoes destroying Los Angeles”
It’s not the tornadoes you have to worry about, it’s what’s IN the tornadoes!
The Rock: “We will rebuild!”
They weren’t the friendly aliens.
Otherwise I’d think they warned him about catastrophic climate change ;^)
