Climate change hits Mars
Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap, writes Jonathan Leake.
Scientists from Nasa say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period.
Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

And a brass band played “Whoda Thunkit!”😃
 
The atmosphere on Mars consists of 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, 1.6% argon, and contains traces of oxygen and water.

:rolleyes:
 
I take issue with this particular statement:

Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

Have we thoroughly checked out Mars with that little rover thingy we sent? There may be secret cities and auto plants that have just been undiscovered.
 
To me it just signifies that we are all just planets out there in space…depending all on the mercy of our Creator.

And I know that God is good…all the time! And He’s got the whole plan…
 
Oh, I know exactly why the polar ice caps on Mars are melting. It’s all because of my SUV!!

Not your SUV – it’s the Martians’ SUVs, plus their generally wasteful lifestyle, including all that toilet paper they use. 😉 😃

No, It is because of John Kerry’s SUV. Or is it his wife’s SUV that actually isn’t his?

Maybe Al Gore can 'splane this one.
 
Al Gore has been using his carbon offset budget to shoot shipments of dry ice to Mars. Didn’t you guys hear? With the energy consumption that guy has, that actually COULD explain it!
 
The majority of scientists deny increased solar activity?😛
Who said anything about denying anything or solar activity?

AFAIK, the majority does not think that the phenomenon on Mars is global or is related to solar forcing
nor do they infer an external common mechanism for global warming on Earth and Mars.

While Abdusamatov does make the link, Sigurdsson does not. Neither is a climate specialist. Climate specialists such as Evans have stated that the link isn’t supported by the theory or the observations.

Fenton, Giessler, & Haberle have stated that regional climate changes on Mars are consistent with long-observed changes in albedo.

Now I am very confused :confused:. I thought it was Al’s hot air that was doing this to Mars. 😉

They don’t? Mars is a globe – you can see that for yourself through a telescope.😛

So we see two planets warming up in the same solar system (with evidence of added energy reaching other planets as well) and that’s just a concidence?

Which are due to …? 😃
 
no it’s because of the Martians driving their SUV’s. Where is Al Gore when you really need him.
He should be on Mars, lying in front of the Martian SUVs to stop them.

(By the way, did you know all Martians are clones of George “I dare protestors to lie down in front of mah cahr!” Wallace?)
