  1. Such tsunamis could exist. But American scientists don't know climate so atleast the understand 10 grade geology. Also human "caused" climate change doesn't exist. It's human enhanced climate changed. This is knowledge every 17 years old person should know.

  2. There is a water to completely cover the earth, there is an ocean in sky, the clouds, the ice, all that melts and theer is no mountain top left in air, its all underwater.

  3. These Guys Don`t Know Things As They Think They Do, They Don`t Speak facts, They Speak What They learn And What They LearN is Not Always The Truth, I Can See A Lot of Holes In They Stories Sadly,. Sadly because millions watch this video and think they speak 100% truth, but really they speak like 50% truth.

  4. I watched up to the point where the crazy old man said Human caused climate change…. I couldn't even take anything actually serious after that. That guy Is a complete nut job

  5. Lava is hot enough to boil the liquid inside you causing your body to burst, love how her only words when a dude casually steps on lava is: "It'd kill you, it seems pretty realistic."

  6. At the end of Day After Tomorrow, the entire earth should've been warmer. It shouldn't have frozen half the US. More ocean surface area means more solar radiation retained because of the albedo difference of water vs ice. This results in more melting ice and thus warmer temperatures. Everything would be greener. It's a positive feedback loop. I'm currently taking a Physical Geography class and my professor only ever lectures about this.
    Global Warming = the world gets warmer. Go figure.
