Day After Tomorrow.

1. Climate Changing Instantly; No i think it takes more time.
2. Continent Scale Blizzard; I dont think its possible for blizzards to merge together.
3. Flash Freezing; I think this might be possible.
4. Tsumami in New York; No.
5. Super Cell Hurricanes; Yes, but not during blizzards.

Flash Freezing: This isnt possible. The air would warm as it decends, according to the Ideal Gas Law. No matter how fast it was moving, it isnt possible to flash freeze anything.

Super Cell Hurricanes: Hurricanes form over warm water, and lose strength when over land masses. A hurricane cant merge with other hurricanes, especially over a land mass. Rain would occur with the hurricane, not a blizzard.

1. Climate change could happen due to rising temperatures and pollution. Dumping trash into our waterways, and the buring of fossil fuels lead to pullution.  Greenhouse gases become trapped in the Earth's atmosphere, preventing outgoing radiation from going into space, polluting our atmosphere more. The air temperatures then rise, causing increase in water temperatures, and global warming.

2. Some things in the movie could never happen; But, some could. The ice caps melting could lead to sea levels rising, coastal flooding, increase in precipitation, less drinking water, and climate shifts.

3. Climate change could effect Typhoons by making them disappear. If the water in the Pacific Ocean got cold, there would be no more Typhoons, because warm water is what causes them. If the water got warmer, Typhoons could happen more often. Global warming cause them to occur more often, the warming makes Typhoons happen more often then the natural cycles would have them occur.
