MoveOn.org is encouraging supporters to use the movie as a political tool to promote the liberal environmental position on global warming.

I wonder if they know this film is owned by the same person that bring's us FOX News.
Global Warming-- The Passion of the Libs....
I love it: Pagan Eschatology... "Burned Behind?"
Typical commie/liberal move. Substitute fantasy for fact. Gore is a master of that.
No, we're not talking about the election of John Kerry, as horrifying a thought as that may be. We're talking about "The Day After Tomorrow."
This movie purports to show the inevitable result of "abrupt climate change" caused by humanity's technological society. From global warming, massive tornadoes and giant hail storms, to a "new ice age" -- it's all OUR fault, and there's no way to stop it!
Well, actually, according to the loony leftists at MoveOn.org, there IS one way to stop it: STOP PRESIDENT BUSH, who's leading the charge of the vast right-wing conspiracy to destroy the environment! Only one problem: this bill, like the fictional movie above, is based on faulty science, and would CRIPPLE our economy. Even the government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) found that the impact of this Act on the economy would be far-reaching. As a result of price increases, the average household's energy bill would increase by $444 per year by 2025; and real disposable income would drop by almost 1 percent per person by 2011 from what would have been the case, and would take fifteen years to recover to levels it would have reached if this legislation weren't passed into law.
By 2025, the average person will have lost almost $2,500 as a result of the proposal. The effect on GDP is even more startling, with the nation losing $507 BILLION in real terms over the next twenty-one years. By 2025, the country's GDP will be $106 billion lower in real terms than would have been the case without the "Climate Stewardship Act".
As the Competitive Enterprise Institute (cei.org) noted in its discussion of these bills, the America that these environmental wackos want us to live in "is a poorer country in every sense of the word. People will lose thousands of dollars of income they could use to help their households, travel less, and may even lose their jobs. Environmentalists who think this is a fair price to pay for their unproven theory that global warming will endanger us might also reflect that the EIA estimates that nuclear power generation will increase by 50 percent."
On the other hand, if current trends persist, technological progress will have REDUCED "greenhouse" emissions per unit of GDP by 55 percent from 1990 levels by 2025 -- WITHOUT implementing any draconian socialistic legislative schemes. Doesn't it seem wiser to continue along this path, rather than crippling our economy and putting thousands out of work?
TAKE ACTION: In October of last year, the Senate came dangerously close to passing this socialistic bill. Now, groups like MoveOn.org are getting their members to demand that Congress and the President push this legislation through -- and they're asking people to hand out flyers full of those same enviro-myths, in front of movie theaters where "The Day After Tomorrow" will be playing.
We MUST fight back, and keep these LIES from being passed off as truth. We've set up three simple and easy things you can do:
ONE: Go to our website below to send a FREE message to President Bush, your Senators, and your Representative in Congress, telling them to vote NO on the "Climate Stewardship Act":

TWO: Click on the link below to download OUR flyer, which you can print out and hand to moviegoers, friends, relatives, etc. (the movie opens May 28th). This flyer exposes the lies of the environmental left, and points people to websites where they can learn the TRUTH -- and take action themselves. Download the flyer here:

THREE: To learn the FACTS about global warming, climate change, and other environmental issues, go to the website below to order the book that REFUTES every major pseudo- scientific assertion environmentalists use to advance their radical political agenda:
NOTE: Be sure to forward this e-mail to everyone you know who wants to STOP the radical left-wing environmentalists from crippling our economy with legislation based on faulty science. Thank you!
Perfectly in line with the Dem's theme. Doom and Gloom.
Is global warming the cause of my tomato plants freezing two times this spring?
I love disaster type movies...... (I know, I need therapy)...I'll see the movie and hope some idiot from MoveOn tries to hand me something about global warming.....;^)
I wish they had lost it completely and called this a "documentary".
Taking a lousy ignorant ignore-science movie apart is not much fun otherwise.
Call me crazy, but this movie has about as much likelihood of sparking a crusade against global warming as "Independence Day" did of starting a crusade against alien invasions.
