Because I've taken some undergrad classes, I like to think of myself as a Science Expert. (Sarcasm intended, although I do struggle with occasional knowitallism.) I raged pretty hard at Absolute Zero in a previous post:
B Through Z: Absolute Zero (2006): With a catchphrase that will make you want to physically accost the screenwriter, this made-for-TV disaster flick revolves around the premise that the magnetic field of the earth can flip on a dime and that's what makes things cold.
But it turns out that there is evidence that the magnetic field of the earth can, in fact, spontaneously reverse, inducing climate change. There is evidence of it happening 42,000 years ago as told through ancient New Zealand trees, as related in this NPR article.
...well, balls.
But I refuse to accept the catchphrase of Absolute Zero, being "science is never wrong." 'Cause my science was.
