When the Viking Landers landed on Mars some 40 years ago, I recall that Mars atmosphere is almost all CO2 Carbon Dioxide. Gee, I wondered recently why is Mars not like Venus? I recalled at best it gets maybe sometimes the “balmy” 72 degrees at the equator during the Mars summers, but mostly it’s ball freezing sub zero cold over the planet. Brrrrr... Damn the left who play everyone for suckers.

I found this online for our edification although Morons like Merkel would not understand LoL:

“According to the Arrhenius equation for calculating how CO2 catches heat, the warming on Mars should be higher than what it is.

The atmosphere of Mars is highly amenable to empirical testing of the Arrhenius equation because its climate-system contains no significant feedback-mechanisms to complicate, or modify the direct and immediate response of the CO2 in terms of the amount of radiative forcing that it is supposed to produce.

When the Arrhenius equation is applied to the planet Mars things go horribly wrong. There the observed global warming according to NASA’s revised Fact Sheet is about 0.2°K (or 0.5 W/m2). The revised NASA data shows an effective temperature for Mars of 209.8°K (see Mars NASA Fact Sheet) and an average global surface temperature of 210°K.

This is interesting when one considers that Mars has a CO2 density about 27 times higher than Earth, at 165 kg/m2 and 6 kg/m2 respectively, and on Earth CO2 is claimed to increase the global average surface temperature by about 6°K (or 32 W/m2). The CO2 on Mars apparently produces 30 times less warming despite being 27 times more abundant. Pressure broadening and the greater intensity of CO2’s radiation-absorption at 15 microns on Earth does not appear to be able to make up for this disparity.”
