The Day After Tomorrow: Could it really happen?

The film shows a disastrous and abrupt climate change due to man-made global warming. Many may think it’s just a fantasy, but lets check what experts have to say.
“While most of The Day After Tomorrow is safely in the realm of science fiction, there is some real science to back up concerns about potentially irreversible changes in our climate within a couple of decades
that would affect our communities, health, infrastructure, and ecosystems.”
“There are a number of potential “tipping points” in the Earth’s climate system – when a threshold could be crossed, resulting in substantial change. The current pace of global warming, spurred by the human release
of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, brings an increased risk of more frequent and intense heat waves, higher sea levels, and more severe droughts, wildfires, and downpours.”
Don’t you think it does sound familiar?
Drought
Global warming will increase the risk of drought in some regions. Also, warmer temperatures can increase water demand and evaporation, stressing water supplies.
Heat waves
As the Earth warms, more areas will be at risk for extreme heat waves.
Tropical storms and hurricanes
A warmer world will help fuel the development of some of the strongest hurricanes.
Arctic melting
Warming has increased Arctic temperatures at about twice the global rate, and Arctic sea ice cover has been shrinking much faster than scientists anticipated.
Wildfires
The number of large wildfires and the length of the wildfire season have been increasing in recent decades.
Fantasy or not, but no one can deny we are facing many of these at the moment. Don’t you think it’s the right time to put all the efforts possible to save our planet?
