The day after tomorrow

The film described that the global warming causes large areas of the Greenland and Antarctic ice shelves to break off and melt, diluting the Atlantic Ocean with large amounts of fresh water. This disrupts the ocean's thermohaline circulation and slows the Gulf Stream, causing a rapid cooling of the northern hemisphere. This triggers a series of unusual and extreme weather incidents, eventually leading up to a massive "global superstorm" system consisting of three gigantic hurricane-like superstorms, which result in an ice age for the northern hemisphere within days. One hurricane-like storm is cover North America, one cover Europe, and the last one cover Russia. The film portrays the eye of the superstorms as having such a low pressure that extremely cold air from the upper troposphere is sucked downward, instantly freezing all who are caught in the eye. Throughout the movie, a subplot involves the refusal of the Vice President of the United States to accept the threat of global warming—despite increasingly extreme weather conditions occurring throughout the world—insisting that measures to prevent it will do too much damage to the economy. In the end of the film give us a big issue we taked about everday - global warming. Therefore, I think every big enterprise in it's industry should become a good model try to do something to curtail global warming.
