I love how scientists think they know anything about another planet when they cant even figure out ours. We should map our oceans before worrying about another planet. More is known about the Moon than the bottom of our oceans.

“Previously, many scientists had assumed that losing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, which helped to keep Mars warm, caused the trouble.”

How did that get past the misinformation board?

An attack by the Venusians destroyed all of the Martian atmosphere factories. Sheesh. Don't you guys know anything? Tars Tarkus remembers.

I guess Martian Climatologists didn’t appreciate the Gravity of the situation.

Mars was doing okay till a political sect called the DeOctRecats arose and tried to save the planet.

Terraforming and expanding to other planets is a bit more exciting that expanding to the bottom of the ocean.

And it’s sort of a two way street. Studying other planets, helps us understand ours, and studying ours helps us understand other planets.

Plus, they’ve mapped our oceans, they are just keeping the findings secret because they think you can’t handle the truth.

“... we’re not sure what caused the climate to change so dramatically...”

The Martians didn’t refused to convert to eletric cars or solar & wind power. Duh. /s

The atmosphere is more than 90% CO2, so the oceans literally boiled away.

“Changing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere didn’t change the outcome. That is, the driving force of the change didn’t seem to be carbon dioxide.”

Keep in mind, this is a simulation of a planet WITHOUT any plant or animal life. So there is no carbon being removed by the atmosphere by plants to be locked away underground and converted to coal. Still, their model of high atmospheric carbon dioxide, on a planet with decreased ability to remove it from the atmosphere, could not deliver the results they expected.

That’s a pretty huge admission of the flaws of earthly climate models, even if they do not make the connection in this article.

“We don’t know what this factor is, but we need a lot of it to have existed to explain the results,” Kite said.

Another damning admission. They admit there is a very significant factor to climate models that is completely missing and they have no idea what it is. This same factor could be completely missing in the earthly climate models as well, and they would not have a clue about that either.

Lol! A Billion years ago, the Martians listened to their liberal Scientists and Politcians, and started trapping all their Carbon Dioxide to prevent Global Warming, the result, Mars turned into a cold, dry wasteland without the Carbon Dioxide to act as a greenhouse.

Martian water came from the rings of Saturn, before Saturn had rings. Same event created both, and filled Earth with salt water oceans. Google “Dave Talbott, Saturn Thesis”.

It has no magnetic field, so the solar winds just evaporated the water away.

The Earth has a magnetic field because the outer shell is spinning at a different rate than the core.

I don’t know how this happens in frictionless space... but I have a theory that the molten material is slightly elastic.

And if the out shell is hit in just the right way it could cause the outer shell to shift, which could send it oscillating back and forth like a swinging door.

This would also explain the roughly cyclical 26,000 year periodic pole shift.

Indeed. And not just map them. We should colonize them. We could colonize the bottom of the oceans, or the vastness of Antarctica with many fewer problems, and at far less cost than any attempt to colonize any place outside of the earth. And any resources we find there to exploit can be shipped back to the rest of civilization much easier and at less expense as well.

The water/atmosphere was lost when a stray planet plowed through the solar system, colliding and wreaking havoc. A few planets have a retrograde spin, one spins on its side, etc.

I think Mars used to spin really, really fast — so fast it was like it was on a spin-cycle and it just slung all that water out into space somewhere.

Okay, that’s my theory. Can I get a grant now?
