so... Mars has been in the state it is in now for roughly 3 billion years but this process is only now making it warm? Earlier articles mention how a warmer Mars means more storms (and more exposed dark surface) in a vicious cycle. They want us to believe that a dramatic rise in temperature on Mars has nothing to do a simultaneous rise here? It’s due solely to dust devils? Seems to me that such a cycle could only have its equilibrium upset enough to result in a dramatic temperature rise by some large new input, like a change the sun’s output...
Bingo. What is causing the dust storms? Odd they should start now.
