Mars Ping!.....................

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I didn’t know they had SUVs spawning climate change on Mars!

[Carry_Okie]

Shades of Velikovsky.

[ClearCase_guy]

Everything was fine until a car started driving around. WHAM! Climate shift!

[JaguarXKE]

I think we should send Greta Thunberg to Mars to investigate the situation.

[mass55th]

Must be all those gas powered vehicles being driven by those Martians, and cow farts from their cattle farms.

Scientists think that billions of years ago, the atmosphere of Mars was much denser and warm enough to form rivers, lakes, and perhaps even oceans of water. As the planet cooled and lost its global magnetic field, the solar wind and solar storms eroded away to space a significant amount of the planet’s atmosphere, turning Mars into the cold, arid desert we see today.

Did it ever really have much of a "global magnetic field", to help protect against solar wind?

[No name given]

Maybe she can take Al Gore with her.

[Red Badger]

It probably did, but the core solidified and lost its magnetism................

[RedMonqey]

Does this mean that long term colonization of Mars is futile?

If the solar winds are such to remove water then why is it even possible?

[JaguarXKE]

Works for me! And John Kerry while we’re at it.

[Red Badger]

The colonizers would have to live underground to be protected from long term exposure to radiation.................

[TigersEye]

Elon needs to figure out how to restart core and make it molten again.

[Red Badger]

Ever see the movie "The Core"?............

[TigersEye]

No. But I’ll check Tubi it’s probably there. LOL

Wasn’t the concept of making Mars’ core molten in the movie Total recall too?

[BobL]

The big problem there was not enough carbon dioxide in the Atmosphere. Thankfully, China and India are making sure that our planet never suffers that fate.

[tet68]

Hey, if Arnold could do it.
Elon can!!

“As the planet cooled”

Martians froze to death in underground caverns, where they slaved away, hiding all the surface water that had turned to ice.

Because the government formed a “climate control” dictatorship for the purpose of (having total power, and) banning “heatful things.”

So the waters froze, and after all that ICE was hidden away beneath the Mars planet surface, the remaining traces of water became “freeze-dried” and barely detectable.

And, without the gas-like water vapors in the limited Martian atmosphere, sunlight turned the surface into what we now see.

Thus, the Martian dictatorship that was alarmed and alarming about potential heat, created a somewhat harsh, cold “climate.”
