aspects paleoclimatologist and professor of Earth in planetary science at Harvard University Daniel P shrag said on the one hand I'm glad that there's a big budget movie about something as critical as climate change on the other I'm concerned that people will see these over the toop effects and think the whole thing is a joke we are indeed experimenting with the Earth in a way that hasn't been done for millions of years but you're not going to see another Ice Age at least not like that 26j Marshall shepher a research meteorologist at the NASA Goddard space flight center expressed a similar sentiment I'm heartened that there's a movie addressing real climate issues but as for the science of the movie I'd give it a D minus or an f and I'd be concerned if the movie was made to advance a political agenda 26 according to University of Victoria climatologist Andrew Weaver it's the Towering Inferno of climate science movies but I'm not losing any sleep over a new Ice Age because it's impossible 26 Patrick J Michaels a former research professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia and fellow at The kado Institute who rejected the scientific consensus 30 on global warming called the film propaganda in a USA Today editorial as a scientist I bristle when lies dressed up as science are used to influence political discourse 31 College instructor and retired NASA office of Inspector General senior special agent Joseph Guin called the day after tomorrow a cheap Thrill Ride which many weak-minded people will jump on and stay on for the rest of their lives in a Space daily editorial 32 Stephan rorf of the poam institute for climate impact research an expert on thermaline circulation and its effect on climate said after a talk with script writer Jeffrey nachmanoff at the film's Berlin preview clearly this is a disaster movie and not a scientific documentary and the filmmakers have taken a lot of artistic license but the film presents an opportunity to explain that some of the basic background is Right humans are indeed increasingly changing the climate and this is quite a dangerous experiment including some risk of abrupt and unforeseen changes luckily it is extremely unlikely that we will see major ocean circulation changes in the next couple of decades I'd be just as surprised as Jack Hall if they did occur at least most scientists think this will only become a more serious risk towards the end of the century and the consequences would certainly not be as drama IC as the superstorm depicted in the movie nevertheless a major change in Ocean circulation is a risk with serious and partly unpredictable consequences which we should avoid and even without events like ocean circulation changes climate change is serious enough to demand decisive action 33 environmental activist and guardian columnist George monbiot called The Day After Tomorrow a great movie and lousy science 34 in 2008 Yahoo movies listed the day after tomorrow as one of its top 10 scientifically inaccurate films 35 it was criticized for depicting meteorological phenomena as occurring over the course of hours instead of decades or centuries 36 of 2015

which considered the film Unworthy of publicity for the climate change debate it had created Emerich did not deny that his casting of a weak president and the resemblance of Kenneth Welsh to Vice President Dick Cheney were intended to criticize the climate change policy of the George W Bush Administration 26 responding to claims of insensitivity in his inclusion of scenes of a devastated New York City Less Than 3 years after the September 11th attacks Emir said that it was necessary to Showcase The increased Unity of people in the face of disaster because of the attacks 270 280 29 some scientists criticize the film's scientific aspects paleoclimatologist and professor of Earth in planetary science at Harvard University Daniel P shrag said on the one hand I'm glad that there's a big budget movie about something as critical as climate change on the other I'm concerned that people will see these over the toop effects and think the whole thing is a joke we are indeed experimenting with the Earth in a way that hasn't been done for millions of years but you're not going to see another Ice Age at least not like that 26j Marshall shepher a research meteorologist at the NASA Goddard space flight center expressed a similar sentiment I'm heartened that there's a movie addressing real climate issues but as for the science of the movie I'd give it a D minus or an F and I'd be concerned if the movie was made to advance a political agenda 26 according to University of Victoria climatologist Andrew Weaver it's the Towering Inferno of climate science movies but I'm not losing any sleep over a new Ice Age because it's impossible 26 Patrick J Michaels a former research professor of environmental science at the University of Virginia and fellow at The kado Institute who rejected the scientific consensus 30 on global warming called the film prop aganda in a USA Today editorial as a scientist I bristle when lies dressed up as science are used to influence political discourse 31 College instructor and retired NASA office of Inspector General senior special agent Joseph Guin called The Day After Tomorrow a cheap Thrill Ride which many weak-minded people will jump on and stay on for the rest of their lives in a Space daily editorial 32 stepan rorf of the poam institute for climate impact research an expert on thermaline circulation and its effect on climate said after a talk with script writer Jeffrey nachmanoff at the film's Berlin preview clearly this is a disaster movie and not a scientific documentary and the filmmakers have taken a lot of artistic license but the film presents an opportunity to explain that some of the basic background is Right humans are indeed increasingly changing the climate and this is quite a dangerous experiment including some risk of abrupt and unforeseen changes luckily it is a extremely unlikely that we will see major ocean circulation changes in the next couple of decades I'd be just as surprised as Jack Hall if they did occur at least most scientists think this will only become a more serious risk towards the end of the century and the consequences would certainly not be as dramatic as the superstorm depicted in the movie nevertheless a major change in Ocean circulation is a risk with serious and partly unpredictable consequences which we should avoid and even without events like ocean circulation changes climate change is serious enough to demand decisive action 33 environmental activist and guardian columnist George monbiot called The Day After Tomorrow a great movie and lousy science 34 in 2008 Yahoo movies listed the day after tomorrow as one of its top 10 scientifically inaccurate films 35 it was criticized for depicting meteorological phenomena as occurring over the course of hours instead of decades or centuries 36 of 2 15 washhington Post article reported on a paper published in scientific reports which indicated that global temperatures could drop relatively rapidly 1°
