“Our samples are not consistent with an ancient environment with life (biosphere) on the surface of Mars"
Whachu say???
Mars Ping!.....................
I didn’t know they had SUVs spawning climate change on Mars!
Shades of Velikovsky.
Everything was fine until a car started driving around. WHAM! Climate shift!
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?
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?
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.
“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.”
How do you have wind without atmosphere? How can dust reach escape velocity.
Anymore, I believe none of what I read, and half of what I see.

Fred, donyou suppose the drastic creation of “heavy” carbonates in Gale crater was caused by the plazma strm that ddug the eep trenches across the face f Mars, as proposed by The Electric Universe theory.
It may be that those huge plasma discharges stripped Mars of its water and its atmosphere.
One of my cranky Mars comments from 2004.

Also related to water on Mars, from 2004.

Trump can even screw the pooch on Mars climate, vote Kamala or the red planet will asplode.
Diamonds are carbonate minerals.
There are cow farts up there? Who knew...
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.
Already? We just got there!
That fifth planet…Krypton!
