Movie Reflection of The Day After Tomorrow

In this movie Ocean water suddenly began cooling a lot in certain parts of the Atlantic causing unbalances in the Northern Atlantic Current. This caused huge storms which forced Earth into an almost instant ice age. This could not happen because the way it happens in the movie it only took a couple of days for everything to happen, in real life the same thing could happen technically except it would be a much larger time scale like years. This could happen because Global Warming is having a huge impact on the environment of the Earth. It is unlike anything that has ever happened and some people believe that it could become a cause of another ice age. I think that the movie is an extremely accurate depiction of what will happen in the future. The cause of an ice age is not known for sure and I personally think that this movie creates a realistic model for what could happen. Two websites to help you gather information on this topic are http://www.geocraft.com/WVFossils/greenhouse_data.html
and http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/05/060524-global-warming.html
This movie relates to my topic because in the movie the first sign of change in the environment was ocean temperatures. Ocean temperatures also had a great effect on the rest of what happened in the movie.
