Cli-FI: New Study apes Hollywood: ‘Global warming can trigger a cooling trend’ – Climate scientists fear ‘Day After Tomorrow’ scenario
“Yes, it is a paradox, but global warming can trigger a cooling trend,” says Dennis Quaid, launching into some on-screen exposition as the scientist Jack Hall.
“It would definitely change everyday life in Europe and North America,” Partin told MSNBC. “Daily life would be drastically affected in these areas, in ways I can’t imagine or begin to address.”
