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?

In fact ice can melt, you can test this buy getting and icecube and putting it in an environment with temperature of >0 C

Yep, more farming land and warmer climate on the Northern Hemisphere sure will fuck us over.

Also, lrn2 grammar.

I don't see how that relates to my post in any was, perhaps you were misquoting or intended to post in /pol/ ?
In any case here is the link
>>>/pol/

I mean I didn't even use any of those words, surely you must be just missquoting.

In all seriousness though, you should just post this on /pol/, much better replies there, lot more lulz to be had.
