If there is methane, there must be cows as well!

The temperature on Mars at night often reaches -100 degrees F. Wonder if Algore can explain how a planet with an atmosphere consisting mostly of CO2 with a high percentage of Methane is so cold?

Plumes of Methane? There are cows on Mars? Or did Gore get there by shuttle?

It is widely doubted, but IMO The Viking Labeled Release Experiment and Life on Mars designed by Gilbert V. Levin found life on Mars. I've never found the supposed evidence from the supposed Martian meteorites compelling though.

Thanks for the ping. I gather this is going to be a humorous thread.

Though methane is a component of black smokers about Earth's ridge systems, so this may well be non-biogenic as well.

Now...were there oil discovered on Mars!...
