Day After Tomorrow was pretty good suprisingly... Not as far-fetched as I thought it would be, and according to my dad, based on respectable scientific theories.

<div style='font: 12pt Arial; text-align: left; '>I remember reading a few weeks ago about how much Al Gore liked the movie and I figured out why, the guy they picked to play the president looked just like Gore! (with white hair) The vice-president looked remarkably similar to Dick Cheney, and acted like him too.</div>

I haven't really payed attention to that movie, is that the one about the super storms or the one about the gulf currrent shutting down causing the Northern hemisphere to freeze?

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Or are they one and the same. The truth is, nearly all of Europe is further North than where I am in Canada. If the gulf current shuts down, Europe will be plunged into a sort of an ice age. London England is about equal in latitude to the Northern tip of Newfoundland, which is very far North from where I live, London would change from a place with no snow to a place which has 8 months of snow. I won't even talk about Scotland and a lot of the Northern countries. Halifax is about equivilent to Marseilles in southern France which has a tropical climate due to the gulf current, Halifax has a fairly similar climate to Boston, those who have been in the area during the winter know about our blizzards, imagine that in a place as heavily populated as Eurpope? The thing is that this type of climate change is in fact possible and could occur due to global warming (blieve it or not). Global warming causes the meeltting of the polar ice caps, this melting causes an opposite current to the Gulf current, and it will get stronger and stronger over the years, without the gulf currrent, most of Europe will be doomed to climates similar to those seen in Northern Canada (keep in mind that Canada from North to South is actually about twice the distance from the US's North to South points, so when I speak of Northern Canada, I am talking about thousands of kilometers North of where I am.)</div>
