Watts Up With That?
No, USA Today, ‘Day After Tomorrow’ AMOC Collapse Isn’t Happening

Excerpt:
USA Today claims in “Infamous disaster scenario can rapidly unfold, study finds” that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, or AMOC, could rapidly collapse in a scenario reminiscent of the movie The Day After Tomorrow. This is false. The article leans on cinematic fear imagery and speculative modeling rather than observational evidence, and it repackages long-debunked catastrophe narratives as breaking news.
The piece explicitly invokes The Day After Tomorrow, writing that the film “imagined a world where a critical ocean current suddenly collapsed.” That comparison is not accidental. It is rhetorical framing designed to trigger anxiety. The glaring problem is that the movie’s premise has been scientifically debunked for years.
