Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming

National Geographic News ^

[WBL 1952]

Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human- induced—cause.

Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.

In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.

"...and all that hairspray that martian women have been using."

It's also likely that Martians didn't convert from R-12 to the new R-134 Freon for their automobile air conditioning.

Urgent!:

Rush out and buy your carbon credits now before the Martians start a buying spree and drive up the price.

now watch the RATS say that National Geographic is a RightWingRag for telling the world the TRUTH and showing what this whole ecological/political masturbation is all about.

THE MONEY!!!

Somehow the warming of the other planets is caused by the George Bush Weather machine.

AP: Al Gore and John Edwards have announced plans to build new mansions on Mars utilizing previously unheard of energy systems provided by captured aliens.

[Clive]

They have hedged their bets.

Note that "Global Warming" is morphing into "Climate Change"

[Basheva]

Just extend the Kyoto Accords to include Mars...and problem solved!

"Must be those Sport Utility Vehicles charging over the dunes of Mars."

You Got It

Thanks

[edcoil]

I am guessing it is not just Mars and Earth since all planets would be affected.

[rod1]

Think of it...AlGore trumped by a Mars SUV.

[rod1]

Yep get your tropical Pluto property while the price is still right.

[antiRepublicrat]

"The solar irradiance began to drop in the 1990s, and a minimum will be reached by approximately 2040," Abdussamatov said. "It will cause a steep cooling of the climate on Earth in 15 to 20 years."

LOL! CLASSIC! Someone with the cajones to not only dispute GW, but to claim that we are going to see GLOBAL COOLING!

Spectacular analysis!

[VA_Gentleman]

Well Manbearpig is half-man, half-bear, and half-pig. Al Gore is totally serial about stopping Manbearpig.

[Thermalseeker]

I wounder how long it will be before the Globull Warming Nazis start demanding that government grants be pulled from any research that is finding evidence contrary to the leftist's selected cause?

Dr. Cullen, table for one......

[Holicheese]

Are you sure that he's not 1/2 man and 1/2 bearpig?

That episode is great.

[VA_Gentleman]

Either way Manbearpig is a serial threat.

Don't forget, Manbearpig tried to kill Boy #1, Boy #2, Boy #3, and Boy #4.

Excelsior!
