There was an article on the Daily Mail the other day about our moons surface cooling quite a few degrees during COVID because of the lockdowns and we weren’t putting out as much greenhouse gasses and that caused the moons surface temps to decline.

Unbelievable what some supposed scientists can come up with.

Mars has an atmosphere, it’s just very, very thin.

Wafer thin?

The Martian atmosphere is primarily composed of:

Carbon Dioxide (CO2): 95%
Nitrogen (N2): 2.85%
Argon (Ar): 2%
Oxygen (O2): 0.174%
Carbon Monoxide (CO): 0.0747%
Water Vapor (H2O): 0.03% (variable)
Additionally, the Martian atmosphere contains trace amounts of:

Noble gases (e.g., neon, krypton, xenon)
Hydrogen (H2)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Methane (CH4)
Ozone (O3)
The atmosphere is very thin, with a maximum density of about 20 g/m³, which is only about 2% of Earth’s atmospheric density. The temperature is generally below zero, ranging from -125°C to 20°C (-200°F to 70°F).

I understand that - he was proven right more than wrong.

The event could well lie in the Saturn and Electric Universe Theories

In 1950 Immanuel Velikovsky published Worlds in Collision, giving a plausible explanation for Mars’ current condition. Most of it has either been proven accurate, or not been disproven. An interesting read.

I agree with Velikovsky. There is a whole body of planetary geology now based on it.

See “Electric Universe”:
