We can't truly predict the weather but the weather has been changing for worse in the last few decades and it's all our fault. We're the ones who have been polluting the world and causing global warming and it's global warming that's been causing all of these storms, hurricanes, tornados, etc. Scientists have warned the world over and over again but people just don't seem to care and the US are very much at fault here. The US are responsible for about 25% of global emissions of carbon dioxide yet the government refuses to implement the Kyoto treaty on combating global warming. You're trying to save some money but in the end it's going to cost you a whole lot more than what you've saved. As the world keeps getting warmer the situation is only going to get worse. What happened in "The Day After Tomorrow" can happen in real life, exactly like that, the only difference being that while in the movie it happened over the course of a few days in the real world it can happen over the course of one year. As bad as the Katrina was I just hope it serves the good of opening people's eyes, at least the people with power to do something.
