I just saw "The Day After Tommorrow". Obviously some of the elements are not very possible. Mainly the time scale. I understand the onset of the last Ice Age took 4.5 years, not minutes/ days as in the movie. But still, 4.5 years is a short time!

But what of Global Warming? Is it Science or political rangling?

I tend to agree that Global Warming is real and a problem. We, esp in the US, need to pay far more attention to our actions. We are harming the very eco system, the ONLY eco system, we live in.

And we need to force our politicians to stop playing politics with mother earth.

Bush turned Texas into the most polluted state in the US as Gov.

He wants to destroy Alaska and other wilderness, for the monetary profit of his Corp buddies.

Will we wake up only when it is too late?

And finally, do movies like "The Day After Tommorrow" help or hurt the effort?
