Yes, scientific risks include asteroid impacts, supervolcano eruptions, and climate tipping points, with organizations like NASA monitoring threats for global preparedness.

While inspired by real climate science theories, such as abrupt climate change, the film exaggerates events for drama. Experts note flaws, like the rapid onset of an ice age being implausible, but it raises awareness about global warming risks through fictionalized scenarios.

Sciences like meteorology, astronomy, and data analytics inform predictions:

- Weather models: Algorithms analyze atmospheric data for near-future forecasts.

- Astronomical cycles: Calculate dates using celestial events.

- Human behavior studies: Patterns in scheduling help project outcomes.

Applications include event planning and risk mitigation, relying on tools like AI for improved accuracy over time.

Research includes analyzing isotopes like cesium-137 and strontium-90 in fallout.

Studies track dispersal patterns and health impacts in affected populations.

Recent work uses computer modeling to predict and mitigate future incidents.
