KEY QUOTES

"The nuclear freeze movement began to dissipate soon after 'The Day After.' Likewise, 'The Day After Tomorrow' is likely to trivialize global warming even further."

"Practical environmentalists, however, take note of the fact that in the United States, we have reduced every form of air pollution from 30 percent to 99 percent over the last 30 years. Early data for 2003 show that ozone has increased slightly, although emissions of pollution continue to fall."
