Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars
MCraigW writes "Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet's recent climate changes might have a natural — and not a human-induced — cause. Mars, it appears, has also been experiencing milder temperatures in recent years. In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide 'ice caps' near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row. Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of the St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun."
I told you so.

Take THAT hippie environmentalist tree huggers! I'm gonna go set a pile of styrofoam on fire in celebration.
We must destroy the sun!

Why not stop CO2 emissions, we're better off slowing CO2 output and being wrong about global warming
Think of what stopping CO2 emissions will do to those poor defenseless plants! You plant-killer! We at PETP (People for the Ethical Treatment of Plants) will not stand idly by and allow you to suffocate all those dandelions! Dandelions have feelings, too!
Fire and Meat. Yummy.
When the temperature hits 200 F in a couple of years, we will be glad to know we didn't cause it.
Either way, no way I'm giving back my Oscar! -Al
Sir it's always good to see another of the same persuasion and I fully endorse your article and I would
ask you to do the same for my reply to this heresy. Here is what I told these man-made global warming
denial morons just a few minutes ago countering their childish theories with sound science-inspired deep
thinking on the matter:
As far as your latest apologist whacko theory is concerned, it is more than obvious that vast amounts of
CO2 and Methane are carried away from Earth's atmosphere by solar wind into space where it is deposited on
the other planets of the solar system. That's why we're losing the martian polar caps! It's YOUR IMMENSE
CARBON FOOTPRINT that's causing it so WE REALLY NEED THAT CARBON TAX YESTERDAY!
I can't wait for the day we can take them to court for their hate crimes and then lock them away for good.
Oh please. How dare you profane my Internet with such hooey. That makes about as much sense as their claim that a study of temperatures for the last 150 years is invalid just because it only represents .00075% of the time man has been on the planet and .00000003% of the earth's existence.
Just think of that number: 150. That's a big number. If someone walked down the street and offered you a $150 wouldn't you be happy? That happiness is what the Republicans want to take away.

It must be those SUVs NASA is operating on Mars that is the cause of the temperature rise...
Excuse me, but please get off my Pennisetum Clandestinum, eh!

I thought the Sun was middle aged...isnt that when you usually expand?

Now the liberal Martian bacteria are suggesting imposing CO2 quotas while the libertarian single-celled organisms don't want to impose any regulations.

No. The heat from within the earth comes from the star that is at the center. I just came back from an astral journey to the city of Jehu, which is inside our earth and saw this star.

Scientists *have* noticed a slight expanding at the sun's equator. I hear they recommended solar situps.

Seriously. I don't care WHY you think the Earth is warming, all I care about is people trying to DO something about it.
I'm waving a magic stick around. What are you doing to stop global warming?

So all we have to do is heat the beer up REALLY HOT, and all the heat will flow out! Yeah!

Maybe the sun needs to lay off those Jimmy Dean sandwiches for breakfast every morning.
More jobs, arr!
Sun is not really all that old, being founded in 1982 and all. I never knew that Java had a part in global warming though. Yikes.
