RUSH: Here's Cory in Wichita. Glad you called, great to have you on the program, Cory, hi.
CALLER: Hey, it's great to be here. Thank you very much. Giga dittos, Rush, Mega isn't enough. Once again your prescience has paid off. At the noon news hour here in Wichita, I heard ABC interviewing the NASA scientist talking about the water on Mars --
RUSH: Yeah, yeah.
CALLER: -- and how it could lead to proof that there was life or something.
RUSH: Right, right.
CALLER: So the ABC reporter, I can't remember her name, did come on and say, "Mars may have been more like earth at one time," but she basically related it to climate change may have brought about its desolate condition now. She didn't say those words, but pretty much they were equating climate change to Mars' condition now. And I was just floored when I heard them say that.
RUSH: Well, wait a minute, wait a minute. You said that the ABC infobabe did that in her question. What did the NASA guy say in response?
CALLER: Oh, no, it wasn't even an interview. She was just playing his sound bite, talking about it.
RUSH: Oh! You mean this infobabe journalist offered her opinion in the story?
CALLER: Oh, yeah.
RUSH: Oh! That's why I misunderstood. Journalists don't do that very much. That's why I was confused.
CALLER: Yeah, that's why I had to get a hold of you, I had to call in. I've been trying for almost 30 years to call you. I had to get in on this one. I could improve your percentage of being right, because this one did it in minutes, not weeks, days, months --
RUSH: Yeah, but we have to honest. This is just an infobabe doing it, and I'll take being right. I mean, I'm never gonna throw that out. But until the NASA people say it -- we know the Drive-Bys. That's why I was curious. She wasn't interviewing the NASA guy. She was doing a report on the NASA guy, and she said, she just opined, she just offered that it could well be that there had been climate change on Mars. Imagine that. And equating it to, of course, what's happening.
There's climate change every freaking place in the universe, for crying out loud. There's climate change on Jupiter. The climate's changing everywhere. Everything everywhere is always changing. Nothing is static. Everything changes always. But I will not be proven right until some NASA guy -- and it'll happen. Even if he's led to it in questioning by a Drive-By journalist, until an actual scientist makes the claim I will not actually say I've been right yet.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Well, I think we can proclaim that I have been right. US News & World Report today, quote, "Eons ago, ancient Mars had 'an extensive atmosphere,' along with 'an ocean two-thirds the size of the northern hemisphere and a mile deep,' said Jim Green, director of planetary science at NASA said during a press conference on Monday." Okay, now, look, how do they know that? How do they know that there was an ocean two-thirds the size of the northern hemisphere and that it was a mile deep? We haven't been there. We haven't probed a mile down on Mars.
You may not remember this. Folks, I'm sorry if you think I'm a natural skeptic. It's not that I distrust as a matter of course. I've learned this. And it really hasn't taken any more than the propaganda and the phony science of global warming to make me doubt. I mean, we've had people claiming, starting in '88, that we had 10 years to clean the oceans or we were gonna die. Or in 1982 that we had 20 years to stop global warming or that was gonna be the end of this or the polar bears were dying. The North Pole was supposed to have melted by now. None of it's come true.
These are all predictions about many, many years in the future, minimum 20 years, most likely 50 to a hundred years, and there's safety in a prediction like that because nobody's gonna be alive to know whether it came true or not. It doesn't take any courage to predict what something's gonna be 50 years from now or a hundred. It does take courage to predict what climate's gonna do in the next three years, and you note we never hear that, do we? You ever hear a climate prediction for 2017. Have you heard a climate prediction, sea levels, arctic ice, any other aspects of global warming or climate change, do you hear any predictions of the next two years or three? No.
The only predictions we get are for 30 years from now, 50, 100 years from now. But never tomorrow, never next month, never next year. Which do you think would be easier to predict? Next year or a hundred years from now? And then realize all this stuff is not based on any data whatsoever. It's all based on computer models predicting things. This guy, Mr. Green, Jim Green at NASA, may be a perfectly nice guy, but, I'm sorry, the days where I listen to some scientist come out and say, "Yeah, two-thirds of Mars used to be covered with water and it was a mile deep," because what comes next, he's the director of planetary science at NASA, and he said, "After an unknown catastrophe, 'Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water.'"
Now, doesn't that fit amazingly well with the scaremongering they are engaging in about planet Earth? Was it Mars' version of Hurricane Katrina, do you think? Was there a President Bush on Mars at the time? (interruption) No, no, no, Mr. Snerdley, I'm not joking here. I'm really serious about this. An unknown catastrophe, unknown. How do we know that? If we're gonna admit that it was an unknown catastrophe, how in the name of Sam Hill do we know what it was and that it was brought on by climate change? Yes siree bob, that's what it was, folks. After an unknown catastrophe, Mars suffered a major climate change and lost its surface water.
Well, of course that's different than what they're saying here. The unknown catastrophes here are known, and they're gonna cause us to be flooded by surface water. In 2007, February 28, National Geographic, "Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says." This is National Geographic eight years ago saying that data that we had collected on Mars now tends to indicate that it's the sun, and not man, that's causing changes on earth. Do you think anybody today is gonna go back and revisit that story in light of the discovery of flowing water on Mars?
This is no different than a five-year-old girl being rehearsed and programmed to walk out to visit the pope in the middle of the street in Washington and hand him a note asking him for his support on illegal immigration. Sorry, folks, I'm not buying any of it. The evidence suggests that you shouldn't either. National Geographic had a long story just eight years ago, same scientists discovered that solar activity is what destroyed Mars. But now today it's climate change, unknown catastrophe brought on by climate change. I think this is -- word for this -- not "criminal." But this is dangerously incompetent. This is the attempted manipulation of people. To me this is hideous, to try to make something like this certain without doubt.
I don't know. It just irritates the heck out of me. Unknown catastrophe. We know that an unknown catastrophe some years ago brought about by climate change destroyed all the water on Mars. And you watch how many people are gonna be running around talking about it now. "Yeah, it was really bad on Mars. Did you hear what happened on Mars?" Why couldn't they have discovered a Starbucks up there so half of the Looney Tunes on this planet would want to leave. Why couldn't this falling water they've discovered be a Starbucks or something or a giant Nike store?
Rush’s algore picture is priceless. Hey, let’s send al to Mars and let him check it out ... and report back to us.

On a visit to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2005, Jackson Lee made embarrassing news by asking if the Mars Pathfinder had taken an image of the flag planted there in 1969 by Neil Armstrong.[2]
Prior to the 110th Congress, Jackson Lee served on the House Science Committee and on the Subcommittee that oversees space policy and NASA.

OMG, there’s evidence of climate change on Mars????
But do the Martians have coal fired power plants and SUVs driving around???
Isn’t this evidence of climate change being a result of natural cycles which man cannot control and may not understand???? If this happens on a planet without human life????
ACK!
So Mars’ climate changed, and there was no help from humans at all. The liberals then say that climate change on Earth is caused by humans.
I firmed up in my suspicions about “global warming” years ago when NASA reported that the Martian ice caps were shrinking due to planetary warming.
BTTT
I will read anything I can find, but without any question, the first time I read, in any article, "..scientists say..." followed by 100% crap, I stop reading.
If the "scientists" are not named and vetted, I am not in the slightest interested in what they have to say.
Assclowns at work!!!
Mars has NO magnetic field so it gets cooked ?
GOD created the universe in six (6) days out of “Nothing.” Whoever than Him think they can change climate, weather prediction or move hurricanes are totally IDIOTS or just in for it for the money like alBore!!!
Exactly
According to geologic evidence there (paleo-magnetism of lava basins), when Mars lost its molten core billions of years ago the planet was no longer able to generate a magnetic field. Without a magnetic field there is no protection from atmosphere-destroying/stripping cosmic ray particles from space. Without an atmosphere to contain heat and moisture, the planet naturally cooled off to where it is today. It does, however, have seasons, due to the fact that it rotates on a tilted axis as Earth does, and so temps do fluctuate there seasonally.
...Mars does have a weak atmosphere.
And they know it had a magnetic field at one time because really ancient lava rock there is magnetically aligned to some planetary-scale field, while lava that formed much later as a result of meteor impacts is not magnetically aligned. So, sometime in between, Mars lost its magnetic field.
This very interesting NOVA special from some years ago will explain it better than I can...

But Gore was only off by a factor between FOUR and FIVE hundred!

Al Gore: Earth's Interior 'Extremely Hot, Several Million Degrees'
By Noel Sheppard | November 18, 2009
[snip]
CONAN O'BRIEN, HOST: ...to create energy, and it sounds to me like an evil plan by Lex Luthor to defeat Superman. Can you, can you tell me, is this a viable solution, geothermal energy?
AL GORE: It definitely is, and it's a relatively new one. People think about geothermal energy - when they think about it at all - in terms of the hot water bubbling up in some places, but two kilometers or so down in most places there are these incredibly hot rocks, 'cause the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees, and the crust of the earth is hot ...

The physics and astronomy website Physlink contests Gore's absurd claim:
It is approximately 4000°C [7230°F] at the centre of the Earth.
