* 2. All of the weather based forces depicted in the film were each alive and sentient unto themselves and simply decided to gang up on the Human Race for the purpose to become the dominant force/form of life on Earth. This theory incorporates a little FridgeHorror in this because in most nature vs man films (TheBirds, whatever giant attacking animal movie on Creator/{{Syfy}}..Etc) all involved some plot of some form of life on earth wanting to kill off another for total dominance to be the planets ''[[YouFailBiologyForever sole species]]'' (animals kill off Humans, animals kill off each other, plants kill off animals and so forth). So basically The Day After Tomorrow takes this to its logical extreme. The very earths atmosphere itself wants to kill off all sentient, animal and plant life in general in order for the WIND ITSELF to hold sole dominance over the world. Thats why the wave of "COLD" appears to chase the movies protagonists, thats why the events in the film take place over only a few days instead of decades or better yet ''centuries''. This theory can also be somewhat interconnected with other weather related disaster films as well such as {{Twister}} and TheStorm. And to go further there is a little NightmareFuel in this as well when you realize that most of the planets known to man outside of Earth do consist mainly of nothing BUT gas and air (especially Jupiter) meaning that there is a remote possibility that gaseous elements really ARE ALIVE and they've succeeded in bumping off the civilizations of other planets. Good luck sleeping while thinking about one day the force of the very air we breath may intentionally try to murder us [[KillEmAll All]]. Sleep Tight kids.

** The North Atlantic Current is not the ''global'' conveyor of heat, simply the one for ''all'' of the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern one has its own current that regulates and transfers heat across it. That said, if the North Atlantic were to shutdown due to a sudden desalinization of the Atlantic Ocean, [[FridgeHorror this would probably kickstart a similar shutdown of the southern hemisphere's current once the desalinization reached the southern hemisphere]].

It's just like how it started in Narnia.

It also explains why the snow centered on the Northern Hemisphere. She did ignore Calormen...

* Since the global conveyor of heat shut down, what would be more likely to happen was the southern hemisphere, and the tropics especially, experiencing a rapid rise in temperature. Unless there is a good reason for the Earth to reflect a lot more sunlight into space (such as, in the long term, snow from an ice age), the average temperature of the Earth must stay the same. So if the average temperature on the northern hemisphere drops to 0 Farenheit / -30 Celsius, the southern hemisphere should have an average temperature of 140 Farenheit/60 Celsius.

[[WMG: The Global warming effect in The Day After Tomorrow was ALIVE]]
CMON ''Everyone'' who relentlessly criticizes this movie all say the same things (Weather does NOT work that way, real captive wolves don't act like that, Ice Ages aren't that fast..Etc the list can go on and on). So this can only lead us to this wild conclusion. The radical effects created by "global warming" in The Day After Tomorrow either came from a elemental sentient force or all the natural phenomena portrayed in the film were somehow alive and capable of sentient thought unto themselves which leads to these 2 theories which are..
*1. The movie was a literal "Dont mess with Mother Nature" GreenAesop in where a unknown force/energy that really ''does'' control all of the natural forces and elements of the Earth basically just got sick and tired of all these annoying homo sapiens constantly screwing with the weather or atmosphere and simply decided to kick start all the consequences of actual global warming early as either a way of cleansing the earth of us polluting pests or simply a [[DisproportionateRetribution Harsh lesson]] in not taking nature for granted. And since practically [[IdiotBall ALL]] of the characters in the film seemed TooDumbToLive no one realized that perhaps some other force might have been at work behind all this chaos.
*2. All of the weather based forces depicted in the film were each alive and sentient unto themselves and simply decided to gang up on the Human Race for the purpose to become the dominant force/form of life on Earth. This theory incorporates a little FridgeHorror in this because in most nature vs man films (TheBirds, whatever giant attacking animal movie on SyFy..Etc) all involved some plot of some form of life on earth wanting to kill off another for total dominance to be the planets ''[[YouFailBiologyForever sole species]]'' (animals kill off Humans, animals kill off each other, plants kill off animals and so forth). So basically The Day After Tomorrow takes this to its logical extreme. The very earths atmosphere itself wants to kill off all sentient, animal and plant life in general in order for the WIND ITSELF to hold sole dominance over the world. Thats why the wave of "COLD" appears to chase the movies protagonists, thats why the events in the film take place over only a few days instead of decades or better yet ''centuries''. This theory can also be somewhat interconnected with other weather related disaster films as well such as {{Twister}} and TheStorm. And to go further there is a little NightmareFuel in this as well when you realize that most of the planets known to man outside of Earth do consist mainly of nothing BUT gas and air (especially Jupiter) meaning that there is a remote possibility that gaseous elements really ARE ALIVE and they've succeeded in bumping off the civilizations of other planets. Good luck sleeping while thinking about one day the force of the very air we breath may intentionally try to murder us [[KillEmAll All]]. Sleep Tight kids.
