    The DNC was like the beginning of a disaster movie: SO many brilliant women warned everybody what's to come. Now we're in the middle of the f-ing movie... somewhere between Jurassic Park, The Day After Tomorrow, & Schindler's List. & ALL Americans had to do to prevent this... was trust women. 👇🏼

    I used to make fun of movies like The Day After Tomorrow for being inaccurate, but now I think any movie that gets people talking about climate change is good.

    Three major hurricanes are spinning across the Pacific at once, creating a scene that looks straight out of The Day After Tomorrow. Meteorologist @willcanowx.bsky.social explains why it’s happening and how Super El Niño factors in. myradar.com/videos/6774

    If you've seen the Day After Tomorrow this is the current that collapses in the movie. What would happen afterwards is innacurate though in the time scale presented in the movie (Emmerich told me they sped it up for cinematic effect). But it would be bad.

    Saw the global warming disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow in a California town like 50% Latino. When it showed white people fleeing from TX to Mexico doing anything to get over the border, half the audience laughed and cheered while a bunch of white folk stormed out yelling at the screen. A+

    A film called The Day After Tomorrow feels deeply disturbing. Like a kidnapper making a documentary to explain why the victim should be grateful. Giving Ukraine’s stolen children back to their families would be a far better act of “healing” than any propaganda film. khpg.org/en/1608815796

    And I cannot stress enough: we are still figuring a lot of shit out. In 2004 when the seminal climate change movie the Day After Tomorrow came out, one of the big criticisms of the movie is that it focused an ocean current - AMOC - collapsing and that was considered unlikely

    I remember when The Day After Tomorrow was released, some climate scientists said that while (obviously) some of the film was exaggerated for dramatic effect, the concept of a key Earth system (like the AMOC) dramatically failing and our climate changing very quickly was 'broadly correct'
