'The Day After Tomorrow' - Could It Really Happen? Straight Answers About Global Warming from a Reliable Source
Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, weighs in on the new film "The Day After Tomorrow"
WASHINGTON, DC (PRWEB) June 3, 2004 -- Eileen Claussen, President of the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, doesn’t believe global
warming will unfold the way it is portrayed in the upcoming Hollywood film, "The
Day After Tomorrow," but she does believe that we need to take steps now to
avoid the worst consequences of global warming in the future.
"I don’t
know anyone in the scientific community who believes climate change will unfold
the way it is portrayed in the film but I also know this: Climate change is
real, with real consequences for our way of life, our economy and our ability to
ensure that future generations inherit a world not too different from our own,"
said Claussen.
The movie, which opened in theaters on Friday in time for
Memorial Day crowds, is sure to provoke conversations around the water cooler
and discussions at the dinner table. The global warming debate is only going to
get hotter in the days and weeks ahead, making it difficult to sort out fact
from fiction.
The Pew Center Web site provides answers to some
frequently asked questions prompted by the movie, including:
The Day
After Tomorrow: Could it really happen?
What is abrupt climate
change? And could it really happen?
What is the Atlantic thermohaline
circulation?
What is the difference between climate change and global
warming?

warming?
What can be done about global climate change?
The Pew
Center has become a catalyst for collaboration in the business community, a key
consultant to Congressional and international policymakers, and most
importantly, an honest broker on the issue of climate change. Visit the Pew
