/sci/ - Science & Math

So yeah, I don't post here. I'm not a science person, I can do stuff if I have to for school but it's not what I'm usually reading about. The closest thing I do is computer science, which isn't even a science as a lot of people in our field joke.

But I'm curious about global warming. I always see it talked about like it's a load of bull and politicians trying to push some over-budget legislation through to lessen greenhouse emissions. Although scientific opinion pretty much concurs on this, most of the popular media is against it unless you're some hipster or bleeding heart Al Gore lunatic.

What do you think? Is it mostly nature or man? Why should we care? Is it really possible for the ice caps to melt because of a few more kelvins?

A.)As long as it's not cold/freezing Plantae gives close to zero fucks about temperature.
B.)Warming is/will happen disproportionately at the poles, warming won't cause a mass extinction any more then the start of the current interglacial caused a mass extinction.

A map to illustrate the last point.

And another question: how should I address skeptic arguments? There's some surveys which reveal that if you show the myth and the truth side-by-side in a pamphlet, more people will think the myth is true than before they read it.
