Oh-my-god...

Ok, I yesterday saw The Day After Tomorrow and it got me thinking. What if this would happen in our life time? Scientists say that in real life the proces of storms would take years and not days or weeks or even months, but still. Rather scarry...Let's say we did survive it. What after?

Well, assuming the world would freeze due to heavy snowstorms, we would either physically adapt (growing fur and the sort) or we would technologically adapt(constructing of bio-domes, with it's own environment, if the materials are available.)

Any other scenario, I wouldn't know an answer to, and I don't feel like thinking like that right now.

Osterbaum · 06-11-2004, 04:23 AM

Techonologigally would be the thing. It's faster. In the movie one thng bugged me. When they say that the temperature is dropping 10degrees per second, do they mean forenheit or celcius? It's these weird american things.

Melfice · 06-11-2004, 04:30 AM

I would think Fahrenheit, I've never seen the movie though, but 10 degrees per second would mean that if it's 20 degrees on a normal day, it would be -30 after a mere 5 seconds.

EDIT: I like the avatar. It's the trigger happy guy from Firefly right?

Osterbaum · 06-11-2004, 04:34 AM

Yeah it's him. I'm a huge fan of Firefly. I have the DVD. My signature is also from Firefly.

More on topic: It also thought it was forenheit cause yanks only use forenheits. And inches, feet all these weird things. I think there was too little about europe. If this would actually happen pretty much like this (only slower) we europeans would end up under ice. The best place to be in europe would either be the south tip Spain or Sicily and Italy's south tip. All else woul be covered in ice if not also those parts. In the hole world you would wabt to be in Africa.

Ofcourse. Warmer climate, but if the entire world would face the same problems, (South-)Africa would probably suffer the most casualities.

Imagine this(seriously stereotyped):
It's 40 degrees Celcius all year long, day in day out. If the temperature would drop 30 degrees in one week, leaving it only 10 degrees, their bodies couldn't cope with the temperature change killing them effectively due to hyperthermia(sp?).

Also, Africa is the most densely populated continent in the world.

Best to survive in southern countries wuld be those used to cold weather. Like us scandinavians and russians. The best place to be would be central Africa to be more specific.

Melfice · 06-11-2004, 04:44 AM

Yeah, that would be so.

Also, don't believe us Dutch when we complain about the cold weather. We love it.

Osterbaum · 06-11-2004, 04:48 AM

Sure you do...

Well we don't love it so when you here us complain, it's all true.

But we are still used to it.

Though all scandinavian countries wouldn't really be the place to be even though we now cold. It would be worse than almost any other country. So if we were to stay here....all dead.
