The Day After Tomorrow? - By Tom Roe

"The Day After Tomorrow" was fun to watch. I enjoyed the effects especially. You don't have to watch long to feel uncomfortable about how far they've reached into the implausible to shore up the premise for this movie. I'm a 3D artist and animator, so I was very excited to see the movie, but I shuddered inside each time they took a jab at modern politics like there is something we could do to stop or start such a catastrophe. First of all the movie says that we could enter into a similar climate change like the one that happened, according to their science, 10,000 years ago. They then proceed to imply that humanities use of fossil fuels and combustion engines is the cause of this change. This is really weird for a premise because it disproves itself. We can not effect the global climate with anything less than a nuclear holocaust. The fact that it supposedly happened 10,000 years ago without our help demonstrates that in massive catastrophic earth-wide disasters happen when they happen, not when we make them happen. So it's not us. That doesn't mean we can't hurt things. Desserts now exist in places where there were once forests. The dust bowl happened long ago because of over-farming the land and some days in big cities like LA you can't go out of the house because of smog. We have moved from a mostly industrial planet to a more and more technological planet and this is changing the amount of hazardous waste we pump into the air. We can do better and we are doing dramatically better than we were 50 years ago, but you have to keep things in perspective. Did you know that a single volcanic eruption spews more greenhouse gas into the earth's atmosphere in one moment at one location than mankind has created in many years.

After reading some of the material at the above links, I'm really starting to get annoyed at the rhetoric of the liberal loons. Would you people just shut your cake holes! We no more can control the destiny of this planet's global climate than we can stop the earth from spinning on its axis.

It is by the grace of God that we are spared from the catastrophes depicted in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". The fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom! It is by God's own hand that the universe and our solar system remains balanced in perfect harmony. Should God remove His influence for a moment, we would all perish. Realize from where you receive grace! Thank God for the grace he has shown you.
