/sci/ - Science & Math

Ok, with hurricane season underway, and Louisiana still up a creek sans paddle, I thought it'd be nice to start some serious discussion about that universal idle topic of conversation.

Pretty much anything that's going on involving air and water on our little blue marble should be relevant, but PLEASE for the love of $DEITY avoid arguments about global warming/climate change, or /x/-tier tinfoil like HAARP and "chemtrails". Let's try to keep it concrete, practical, and empirical.
