Climate change the day after tomorrow!!!?

Question

i have to 4 paragraphs on what happens to the climate change in the movie the day after tomorrow but i didn't really unserstand it. I know global warming caused the climate change but i don't understand exsacly how. anyone explain?

Answer 1

Read the book "The Great Warming"  by Brian Fagan

The book is about the global warming of the middle ages and how it changed governments and civilizations.

Answer 2

ok the day after tomorrow was lame........... lame lame lame. yes good movie but bad ways for putting it. look up something called 6 degrees it tells you the facts about global warming i watched it . it is amazing like did you know it the earth raises 6 degrees um your dead. right now it only raised .9

6 DEGREES it was on the discovery channel.

Answer 3

The idea behind the movie was that global warming causes the artic ice sheet and Greenland glaciers to melt.  The flow of fresh water into the North Atlantic causes the Gulf Stream current to stop.  This in turn destabilizes atmosphere causing a series of massive storms to blanket the northern latitude under a massive snow storm kicking off a new ice age.

The story is based on some scientific hypotheses that past ice ages did not start gradually due to thousands of years of cooling, but rather started suddenly in only a few years due to some sort of massive climatic switch.   See the "The Coming Global Superstorm" by Art Bell.

Answer 4

From what i understand, global warming cause the glaciers up north to melt and enter the ocean. It coldness of the glaciers unbalanced the temperature of the ocean which in turn, apparently cause a climate to rapidly change. I am not sure if that is what happened. i believe i am mostly correct, but not hundred percent.

Answer 5

Apparently, melting glaciers and land-based ice sheets bring cold freshwater into the oceans. This in turn upsets the oceanic currents causing a shutdown of the Meridional Overturning Circulation, which is the theorized mode of heat transport from the tropics to Europe. Others contend that the heat transport is actually part of air currents, making an occurrence such as the one in "The Day After Tomorrow" unlikely.
