Reverse the Polarity of the Bogon Flow!

I think The Day After Tommorrow just broke my bogometer. Delicate instruments should not remained pinged for two hours straight.

My Lady and I went out and rented it on a lark. We knew the science was going to be poor, but we like disaster movies and were in the mood to be snarky. I'm trained as a scientist, and I love science fiction, so I'm used to checking reality at the door for movies. But I'll be damned if the DVD wasn't glowing tommyknocker green Cherenkov radiation as the flux of bogosity radiated off it faster than light speed.

I can willfully disbelieve when presented with Warp Drive, and survive Star Trek technobabble without breaking a sweat. Heck, I'm pretty fluent in that particular jargon myself. But this movie just took it's bad science and beat me over the head with it and left me feeling like the mime after Opus' historic olive loaf rampage.

And, for all that, while it's December in New England and running close to 50 degrees Farenheight outside, I'm remembering the scenes of NYC under tens of feet of snow and the Statue of Liberty encased in ice. I feel kinda chilly. Maybe I ought to go put on a sweater...

While the specific scenario in the movie is quite simply physically impossible, humans are stupid. Very stupid. We are all to likely to ruin our planet.

Please, someone, go buy a hybrid car or something, and make me feel like there's some hope for us.
