The sound of global warming is endless, but "The Day After Day" shows an unusual and even dramatic earth disaster with extremely cold low temperature. The Chinese often say that things are impermanent, and the changes of the earth are actually unpredictable. The temperature rises, the ice and snow melt, and the sea level rises, will they eventually evolve into the scenes in "The Day After Tomorrow"?
The heavy snowstorm in southern China at the beginning of this year was actually not only a snowstorm, but with the rare extreme low temperature, I naturally thought of the movie "The Day After Tomorrow". The scientific community’s explanation for this is the La Niña phenomenon, and there are also sayings that it is related to the El Niño phenomenon. Then what power are these phenomena controlling the global climate?
There are a few scholars who disagree with global warming, presumably they have their own reasons. However, it is certain that the earth is undergoing certain changes, but are these changes caused by human beings themselves? Maybe not at all. I don't remember who said: The earth is too big, and its development and changes are not shifted by the will of human beings. This is probably what it means. After all, in the history of billions of years, the earth has undergone many changes, so there will be now and in the future, but it is difficult for us to predict.
But we can analyze history and find some regular things. Before the southern snow disaster, I happened to read an article in a magazine about the relationship between climate and war in history. During the 15th to 17th centuries, the world was in the Little Ice Age climate, especially the last period from 1580 to 1644 was the lowest temperature in 1000 years. The 1628 when Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne unfortunately caught up with the middle of the coldest period. Disasters occurred in various places, farmers raised flags to rebel, and Later Jin took advantage of the fire to rob, and the once powerful Ming dynasty became extremely weak. In relation to "The Day After Acquired", is this abnormal extreme low temperature the reality that the next ice age cycle will take place? When will it happen? Is there a sign?
Disasters often come unexpectedly, and the faces of disasters may be unimaginable. In the film, the Americans are forced to migrate south and into Mexico, but Americans who have always been superior are reduced to refugees in the Third World. In reality, Uncle Sam would not bow his head to others, but in the scenes in the movie, I saw the far-reaching gaze of this nation. China is a disaster-prone country. Our efficiency in dealing with disasters may be top-notch, but can our predictions and judgments on disasters be advanced?
A few days ago, the so-called "Super Typhoon", the first disaster film in China, was released. I haven't watched it yet. I think we don't have to compare ourselves with Hollywood in terms of film production technology. Foresight about disasters may be more important.
