 The Day After Tomorrow: Could Abrupt Global Warming Really Happen?   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The Day After Tomorrow, a new movie released on Friday, May 28, is loosely based on the theory of  “abrupt climate change.” As a result of global warming, the Gulf Stream (part of the Atlantic thermohaline circulation) shuts down.
If it were to occur, it would probably not happen within the next 100 years, and circulation would eventually recover, after decades or centuries.
While it is possible there would be cooling in the North Atlantic region, it is considered more likely that it would continue to warm, but more slowly than the rest of the world.

It's this uncompromising approach that, in the final analysis, elevates The Day After out of the status of 'mere American disaster movie' to something rather important.
Its stark pessimism was undoubtedly the reason it caused such a fuss in both the United States and Britain and irritated polititions of a hawkish persuasion in both countries.

 TCS Daily - The Day After "The Day After Tomorrow"
It is very possible that higher levels of greenhouse gases will protect us from these fantastic swings in climate, just as higher levels of greenhouse gases may protect us from the next ice age due in a few thousand years.
"The Day After Tomorrow" requires substantial changes in climate to precede an immediate collapse of the climate system, most notably, a significant rise in global temperature.
The near-surface thermometer records around the globe show a warming of approximately 0.7°C (1.3°F) since 1900, but the thermometer record is severely compromised by changes in measurement equipment, urban growth around weather stations, and the lack of coverage over enormous areas of the Earth.
