Global warming has seriously worsened, and the climate is
retaliating.
The world will be locked in ice the day
after tomorrow, Where Will You Be?
In
the movie, "The Day After Tomorrow", global warming caused
by the greenhouse effect is about to cause a disaster the
Earth has never seen before. When an iceberg the size of
Rhode Island hits the Antarctic ice shelf, a chain reaction
begins; hail strikes Tokyo, a huge hurricane hits Hawaii,
snow falls in India, and Los Angeles is attacked by never
seen before tornados. Catastrophes predicted by
climatologists appear one by one; the northern and southern
polar caps will melt and tons of fresh water will pour into
the ocean. After a global sized super hurricane hits Earth,
the planet will plunge into the Ice Age. [Figure:

Last
summer the heat was almost unbearable. In the news, abnormal
weather was frequent, while natural disasters struck one
after another. While the September 21st, 1999
Earthquake in Taiwan was still haunting our minds, the Asian
Tsunami of December 26th, 2004 hit South Asia,
and Hurricane Katrina struck the American South East on
August 29th, 2004 causing horrible losses. It was
horrifying that some of these movie-like disasters actually
started happening one after another in the real world.
Teachers told us that they occurred because the green house
effect had seriously worsened. We all felt the seriousness
of this problem, so besides wanting to know more about it
ourselves, we would like more people to realize and face
this problem too!
