BBC has published an article claiming much of the science in the 2004 climate science fiction film The Day After Tomorrow “hold up remarkably well” to historical analysis.
Readers who are old enough to remember the movie may recall that the premise of the movie was global warming causing a sudden halt to the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Current, resulting in all sorts of sudden and horrifying catastrophes.
Yet, the ocean currents have sped up, not slowed down, and the asserted catastrophes have not occurred.
Let’s compare climate science versus the BBC’s attempt to gaslight us into believing absurd climate predictions have come true.
As BBC describes it, “The film starts well, with a climate researcher, Professor Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid), nearly plummeting to his doom in the Antarctic when a mile-long crack splits the ice shelf beneath his feet.
Soon afterward, he explains how the North Atlantic Current works to the US’s skeptical vice president (Kenneth Welsh, a Dick Cheney lookalike).”
Dennis Quaid “explains” to the dolt-like, climate-denier vice president that “global warming is melting the polar ice caps and disrupting this flow [the North Atlantic Current]. Eventually, it will shut down. And when that occurs, there goes our warm climate.”
However, climate scientists recently published peer-reviewed data showing the ocean currents are speeding up rather than slowing down.
Now, of course, climate alarmists falsely claim global warming speeds up ocean currents and they predicted this all along. Like in the movie Gaslight.
Moreover, BBC admits the movie showed, “Hailstones the size of tennis balls batter Tokyo. Tornadoes rip Los Angeles to pieces. Helicopters fall from the sky when their fuel lines freeze in Scotland. A frighteningly convincing tsunami sloshes through Manhattan, submerging its streets and turning its skyscrapers into islands. New York is then buried under meters of snow and ice.”
Yet, none of these events occurred. None are going to occur. The acclaimed “science” was ridiculous in 2004, remains ridiculous today, and will always be ridiculous.
The only people who will believe BBC’s absurd attempt to try to vindicate climate extremism predictions in The Day After Tomorrow are climate charlatans and people BBC can effectively convince are losing their minds.

BBC has always been good at comedy .
Scary global warming was their biggest spoof ever .
The Chinese will wipe us out before any warming .
They are working so hard at it .
There’s episode of the 1960’s Classic Sci Fi TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea THE SKY’S ON FIRE which features form of Global Warming caused by Freak Meteor Shower and not by our Backyard BBQ’s or SUV’s
The freezing storms of the movie are garbage as it reverses the heat engine that drives hurricanes. It’s just not a starter at all. Also, nothing cools as quickly as shown in the movie. It takes time for materials and large quantities of materials to give off heat. Cute movie but no cigar.
I have seen Hail the size of marbles and they beat some old plastic Easter Lilies to pieces but its been about fifty years ago and of course they fell during thunderstorm a few years ago one of our local towns had hail the size of Golf Balls
Hailstones the size of tennis balls. Well, that settles it. Must be climate change. Except that, in 1964, while driving across northern Quebec, I ran into a thunderstorm that showered my nearly new Dodge with tennis-ball-sized hailstones. I picked some up and drove to my next client who had a walk-in freezer. Maybe they are still there. Later I discovered that my car had indentations all over it. I can only imagine what one of those would have done to my head.
SO WHAT !
The BBC also believes that the blasphemic ornery
Hyper – amplified Screach Owl Mozlem call to prayer
is not only ” not a nuisance ” but just exercise
of religious liberty
While they shut down all other expressions of religious liberty
that Moose-Lambs claim to be offensive
So much for British courage
So much for British cowardice in the face of the enemy !
maybe the BBC should delve into Fiction since like CNN and the NYT’s its mostly all Fiction lets leave the Science Fiction to George Lucus
