  Worth noting that TDAT took the concept of the AMOC collapsing and turned it into one of the most absurdly unscientific science-based films short of Armageddon. But it was pretty entertaining if you could find a way to stay plugged into the movie and not feel disenchanted by the concept of polar cyclones icing things with tropospheric air. Still, there was that initial kernel of truth to it, which is what we're reading about now. (not a climate guy; I'm probably getting some parts of this wrong)

  From Amazon's info about the movie: > Twentieth Century Fox invited a group of scientists to preview this movie, to test their reactions to the "science" used in it. None of the scientists were impressed with what they say, although most conceded that the movie was enjoyable nonsense. > The consultation by N.A.S.A. scientists was requested before the filming of this movie, but N.A.S.A. stated that the events in this movie were too ridiculous to actually occur, and denied the request.

    That's really funny. It almost reads like The Onion.
