ART BELL?!?! You're kidding!

Art Bell and Whitley Streiber wrote "The Coming Global Superstorm," on which the movie was based. On Streiber's website, the description of "Superstorm" is "The book that inspired the Day After Tomorrow! Now with a new afterword by Whitley and Art." Bell and Streiber had been hawking "Superstorm" for at least a couple of years before the movie was made.

Then Streiber wrote a book titled "The Day After Tomorrow," which is based on the movie -- to take advantage, in book sales, of the movie sales. The description on his website for this tome is "First, Whitley and Art wrote the book that inspired the movie. Now Whitley's written the book inspired BY the movie!"

The only thing scientific about any of this is the following formula:

Gullible people + smooth-talking con artists with new age radio show + Hollywood Leftists who saw an opportunity to not-so-subtly bash GWB and Dick Cheney before the 2004 election = pathetic, but money-making movie .

There's a sucker born every minute. Made Scientology a success, why not this stupid movie?

Ah HA!! I was right....in part :

"In 1999 a major climatological study predicted that the Earth will soon be warmer than it has been in millions of years."

That would be the Clinton administration, made to order study detailing how every event on the globe is connectable to global warming.

From this site, with an overview of The Coming Global Superstorm The book is Bell and Streiber's crop circle method of rebutting the report with their climatological, rubber band theory.

Not that it matters that both of us are right...the whole thing is still nothing but a snake oil sale.
