NO!!! It's man and his evil hummers!! LOL

You know, blaming man for changes in global climate is like blaming the potatos for making the water in the pot boil.

"Earth is heating up lately, but so are Mars, Pluto and other worlds in our solar system, leading some scientists to speculate that a change in the sun's activity is the common thread linking all these baking events."

The sun?? No kidding!!

With these kind of skills of observation, maybe these scientists should join the WOT and help us figure out what all those young male middle-Eastern Muslim terrorists have in common.

"Global warming on Neptune's moon Triton as well as Jupiter and Pluto, and now Mars has some [scientists] scratching their heads over what could possibly be in common with the warming of all these planets ... Could there be something in common with all the planets in our solar system that might cause them all to warm at the same time?"

SUVs. Definitely the SUVs. \sarc

[DWPittelli]

It's certainly possible that some coincidence has caused all these warmings at the same time, but it does sound like they're merely speculating on some of them, because they don't want it to be sun irradiance. Further, blaming the mars warming on its Milankovitch cycles seems far-fetched to me. For earth, at least, Milankovitch cycles run 20,000 years and longer (probably most notable at around 100,000 years, the periodicity of the last 4 ice ages). And since mars is farther from the sun and has much smaller moons, I would expect its Milankovitch cycles to be even slower. (I welcome a correction or any links on mars's Milankovitch cycles.)

It does in Wyoming.

When the sun goes down it starts cooling off.

It keeps getting colder all night.

When the sun comes up the next morning, it starts warming.

That continues all day.

I think that shows that there is a connection between the sun and the temperature.

NO! Really?!

"Global warming on Neptune's moon Triton as well as Jupiter and Pluto, and now Mars..."

Well, there goes the neighborhood!

We must stop this threat immediately. After all, who ever trusted the sun beside Galileo and Newton, anyway? We must send Al Gore as our ambassador to the sun to make it run it's business properly or else we'll really get mad!

[Shermy]

That piece reads like a Global Warmers' fearful reaction to the "sun" theory. Even gives wiggle room for the idea, "yes, the sun is cause, BUT only partial."

An excellent video on the subject. You may have seen it on Drudge. About an hour long.

Yes.

[Old Professer]

I predict that by 2012 all predictions will have been changed; by 2097, nobody will remember why.

Glo-ball warming

[SERKIT]

What is the zip code for Mars so I can send in my "global warming credits"?

[gathersnomoss]

DUH! Could there POSSIBLY be something in common? SUV's...Idiots.

Changes in Solar Brightness Too Weak to Explain Global Warming

The only plausible connection between planets is solar irradiance. But there are other solar effects like modulating the cosmic ray flux that could have an impact here, but not the other planets. I think we should drop this "all the planets are warming" fad and move on to serious science.

Does the sun cause global warming?

Only during the day.

Report Indicates Global Warming May Be Worse than We Think

Two new reports indicate that the global warming problem may be more widespread than heretofore thought. One report from National Geographic News asserts that temperatures on both Earth and Mars have been rising. Data from NASA’s Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey mission in 2005 disclosed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps” near Mars’ south pole are shrinking.

The other report indicates that cosmic rays from exploded stars are decreasing. This is causing fewer clouds to form and allowing more sunlight to hit the planet, raising temperatures.

Former vice-president and internationally acclaimed climate expert, Al Gore, cited the reports as further evidence in support of drastic action aimed at cooling the planet. “It was bad enough when just the Earth was affected, but now it looks like the entire solar system may be in danger,” Gore proclaimed. “There is no time to lose. We must act before it is too late.”

Gore suggested that a “global climate czar” be appointed from among a list of persons nominated for both an Academy Award and Nobel Prize for work on climate change. “We need someone with the authority to brush aside the barriers to immediate action,” Gore said. “We can’t afford to allow a nostalgic reverence for archaic notions of property rights and individual freedom to be used to block the steps necessary to save the Earth. Everything and everyone must be strictly controlled if we want there to be a planet here for our grandchildren.”
