LMAO....good one Hunpecked. And so true!

On a separate note, looks like we're going to have another night below -40 here.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, it\'s COLD!!
 

Well, according to a movie I recently saw, global warming can cause an ice age because the warming melts the polar ice caps, releasing a lot of fresh water into the ocean, which can cause the North Atlantic Current to shut down. That's the current in the ocean that brings warm water from the equator up north. I'm not sure how much of that stuff from the movie was simply made up. Yeah, I'm talking about "Day After Tomorrow".

The first part is possible but nowhere near that sort of time scale in the movie - which was pretty bad overall. I felt like I was pulled into a ultra-cold vortex thingy for two hours. [img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Cold.gif[/img]

The movie was crap but the concept is correct. Then in the usual Hollywood style they sped it up and made it 100 times nastier.

I can assume that volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are also caused by global warming, then?

Actually I found "The Day After Tomorrow" VERY enjoyable; funniest show I've seen in a long time. I mean, on a computer display early in the film, they even had the Gulf Stream going the wrong way! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

And I thought I had seen every chase sequence Hollywood had to offer: people chased by cars, by explosions, by combines, by DINOSAURS, and so on. But this was the first time I've ever seen people chased by an ICE AGE! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

But really, even a slug would be too fast.
