You might be thinking of the Climate movie: The Day after Tomorrow. The article is about “The Day After” which was a TV movie.

Interestingly, The Day After Tomorrow was based on a book co-written by Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM fame. It was about the birth of global “Superstorms” and the impact of climate change on the ocean currents.

Yeah…it sucked. Actually, both of them were hyperbolic junk.

Art Bell didn’t seem the type type, to me, to write a book like that...

‘The Coming Global Superstorm’ is the name of the one Art Bell wrote with Whitley Strieber.

In the General/Chat forum, on a thread titled This TV movie from the 1980s helped change the course of the Cold War. Here’s how ‘The Day After’ got made, Vermont Lt wrote:

It was the nuclear blast movie. I think they tested the waters to see if the public wanted to go to the movie theatre to watch a woman care for her children as they died of radiation poisoning, one after the other, with no chance of actual medical support. After burying her second child, she runs her hands through her hair in exhaustion, and a clump of hair comes out. Nothing to look forward to. No hope. The 'tough' neighbor kid steals what little food they have left. So apparently a test run proved that I was among the few who actually went to see it, and did so by accident. So it became a TV movie. There's no point in watching that kind of misery- better to feature what can happen if communities help one another.
