My daughter and I just had a laughing good time watching that movie. I loved the homeless guy with his dog.
My favorite was how the "super-cooled air" would RUSH in from the troposphere all the way down to earth and freeze people in seconds. Of course, there isn't enough air up there to rush anywhere -- but worse, when it actually happened they knew it because -- the wind STOPPED. Yep, the rushing super-coold tropospheric wind was ushered in by a complete lack of movement in the heated surface air.
We also thought it was funny how the water kept rising for hours, then it froze, and then people walked out the doors of the building, and then later the frozen water was back up to the midpoint of the ship. Pretty good trick. That and the phone lines still having power when the entire electric grid was down -- those unmanned phone switches must have one heck of a power source......

Actually, global warming ends ice ages as well. We have been in a global warming period for 18,000 years.

Khabibullo Abdusamatov of the Pulkovo Astronomic Observatory said temperatures would begin falling six or seven years from now, when global warming caused by increased solar activity in the 20th century reached its peak, and that the coldest period would occur 15-20 years after a major solar output decline in 2035-2045.And the basis for this prediction is what, exactly?
To: Redbob
That's funny - this is exactly what the professional Chicken Littles were hollering about in the early '70s...In the 70s, the slight cooling was related to high quantities of atmospheric SO2 primarily from coal burning. This is a different mechanism (and I'd still like to know why he thinks this is going to happen).
To: CharlesWayneCT
That and the phone lines still having power when the entire electric grid was down -- those unmanned phone switches must have one heck of a power source...... Traditionally, the phone system had backup power: batteries and generators. The objective was for communications to survive no matter what.
Then again it's been a number of years since I worked for AT&T, so that may have fallen to cist cutting

This article is a little short on information,Seconded. Google on "Abdusamatov solar" and you'll find a few references to him (make sure it's "Kh Abdusamatov"). Still not much to go on.
To: palmer
solar cycles.I gathered that, but why he thinks that the Sun will enter a low-activity cycle in a few years is not indicated.
