The Day After Tomorrow

"The Day After Tomorrow" is a disaster film, it is not just a disaster film, his story is not a fantasy, as its name, more like a prophecy. The beginning of "The Day After Tomorrow" bears a striking resemblance to the beginning of "The Day After Tomorrow" as the heads of state haggle over carbon reductions in Copenhagen, with meteorologist Jack predicting an ice age, but the vice president is unmoved. Jack said: "The natural environment is fragile." The vice president replied: "But don't forget, our economy is also fragile." Which is more important, the natural environment or the economy? It's hard to compare. But what about taking after the natural needs of human beings have been met, even unchecked, at the expense of the environment? Maybe there are still people who disagree, so the director told us such a story.
Unlike what Jack predicted, the arrival of the Ice Age is not in the next few hundred years or decades, but in weeks and days, when people are so vulnerable and powerless in the face of the powerful nature. At this time, the president remembered the scientist again, and all people can do at this time is to seek a lifeline in front of nature. In fact, what is the difference between a few hundred years and a few days? The disaster to come will eventually come, but people's attitudes are completely different. Is it a fluke that it did not end up on the head, or is it only the immediate benefits that people can see and not the dangers in the future? It exposes the darkness of human nature and praises the dignity of human nature. Even in the face of powerful nature, we are small but never humble.
Scientists are truly admirable for their devotion to their duties and their timely predictions. Jack predicted that an ice age was coming, told the president about it, and reminded policymakers. The old scientist was stranded in Ireland after giving up the best time to leave for surveillance. The ultimate meaning of science is to use science for the benefit of mankind.
But most importantly, in today's economic development, we are at the expense of the environment. The smog in Beijing is so serious, the water level of Poyang Lake has been dropping year after year, desertification has continued to expand, and water pollution has come at a high price. Maybe the catastrophe did not come today, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow? We pollute the environment now, and even if nature's revenge does not come, it is for future generations to take responsibility and risk for us.
Just like the original meaning of "The Day After Tomorrow", what will happen after tomorrow?
