[Yo-Yo]

Hmm, Mars global warming, Earth global warming. Coincidence? Or maybe there is a common connection between the two, like Sol?

[farmfriend]

Rights, farms, environment ping.

Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from this list.
I don't get offended if you want to be removed.

LOL the enviro whack jobs have a new cause!!!

[UCANSEE2]

I guess this is all Bush's fault for driving his SUV around on MARS all the time.

[Vesuvian]

Martian Global Warming???

What did Bush know, and when did he know it???

; )

[Sacajaweau]

I knew that had cars and factories there. We're just looking in all the wrong places. They live underground.

Ah, said the blindman as he picked up his hammer and saw.

[coloradan]

The common connection is that Americans have devastating consequences that reach beyond the globe. /hate-America liberalism

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Gee...I wonder which Martian industries will have to scale back to 6 percent below 1990 emissions to SAVE THE PLANET ?

[concerned about politics]

Scientists have suspected in recent years that Mars might be undergoing some sort of global warming.

KWEL! Martians have SUV's?

Global warming caused by man and SUV's is a Hoax!!!

[cynicom]

Must be damned conservative Martians running their SUVs all ovewr the place.

[exnavy]

All of them!

[Prime Choice]

Wonder how long before the Greenies blame NASA for this? After all, they had that rover puttering around Mars for, what...six weeks? Horrors!

Latest close-up of Mars:

I KNEW it!

[RightWhale]

Frozen water makes up as much as 10 percent of the top 3 feet (1 meter) of surface material in some regions

That would be about as deep as they can see into the surface. If the surface were dry, they could see deeper. So what might be under the very surface is unknown. It could be ice a mile deep. Water should be no problem once astronauts get to Mars with some tech to produce potable water from the mineral deposits.

[Snuffington]

Geez, I KNEW that Mars explorer should have been electric. Oh well... Mars is ruined. On to Jupiter.

[Prime Choice]

Martians have SUV's?

Yup! And it's run with the Eludium Q-32 Space Modulator!

[yatros from flatwater]

I personally blame methane from purple Martian cows!

Ah, I see, said the blind man to the deaf dog, as he picked up his hammer and saw.

[Frank_Discussion]

And this is the sort of news that keeps me from being stuck on exploration of Moon over Mars - both places are very interesting!

[PoorMuttly]

There were major studies posted here which pointed to the warming of our solar system. Mars is ours. We're all heating up, and our civilization is only responsible for max. 30% of the warming. I bet if we painted all our rooves white, and wore white hats, a lot of heat would be reflected back ! Alas...we really don't seem to care, just complain.

Of course, with enough white hats...Mars may heat up faster !

Then I could get my old hotrod (steering/brake problem) saucer back...if it melts deep enough. If it melts too much though...the eels may wake up, and our troubles would just be beginning.
