The result of more exposed dark soil is that the temperature of Mars has gone up between one and two degrees over the last two decades.

OK so a change in albedo is causing Martian warming. Now what has happened in the last two decades to cause the increase in wind that is changing the albedo? Maybe an increase in solar output?

You beat me to it. There has to be some change that has driven these increased winds. The only thing I can think of is an increase of energy into the atmosphere caused by the sun.
