The Day After Tomorrow: Not as Unrealistic as We Think It Is.

“The Day After Tomorrow” showed us what life would be like in the event of a horrific natural catastrophe. Because of the abuse the world has taken from us, it started to shut down and it took everyone by surprise. Buildings were heavily damaged, streets became raging rivers, the state looked like it incurred billions of dollars of expenses, and worst of all many lives were lost.

But if they were to become responsible and take the fate of the world into account, if they were to do their best to fight pollution and go green, we may actually see concrete
