Mars is going through climate change

Speculation about climate change on Mars has heightened since 2001 photographs from the Mars Global Surveyor suggested that ice caps near the planet’s South Pole were receding. A 2007 study by Russian physicist Habibullo Abdussamatov concluded that the caps had been in decline for three summers in a row and attributed the decline to solar irradiance.

I'm way short of being a scientist, but could the methane gas from cow farts be escaping our atmosphere and being drawn to Mars?  

Oh crazy me.  We sent a rover to Mars.  NASA must have secretly added a Briggs and Stratton internal combustible engine on it to motor it around.  The receding polar cap is the results of the emissions.  A massive carbon based footprint.

I think we should throw some money at it and see if it sticks. You know, contribute to man's insane and selfish inclinations that he can control everything.

I will be following this. I am curious to hear the "experts" explanations. I am guessing it will be discarded because it isn't useful to the narrative. 

[Reagan]

Well, the commie-libs will say this proves man-made global warming on earth.  I know -- with them it doesn't have to make sense!

how short are you!!

lol.  This article doesn't even say what you seem to think it says.

[texanabroad]

The article says that the ice caps are melting on Mars and that scientists disagree on what is causing it. What are we missing?

Please enlighten us peons as to what you think it says. You prefaced your remark with a "lol", which can only be in this context a signature of derision. So please explain your heightened sense of intelligence so we can bask in your greatness. But keep in mind, we have the ability to critique your response, and I'm sure we will be able to articulate more than a "lol" in our analysis.

Of money?  If it cost a quarter to poop, I couldn't afford to flatulate.  If height, I use to be 5'11", but old age has gotten me down closer to 5'9".  If it's brains, I don't have enough left to realize how smart I ain't.

These folks cant tell me if its gonna rain two days from now why believe them about whats going on with Mars!

So what makes you think this article "doesn't even say what you seem to think it says"? This whole topic was about "climate change" on Mars, and your quote basically says exactly that. So what did we miss? Or what did you miss?

[Hagar]

I don't have any proof, but probably 25 years ago I was watching the News, and a group was searching for a WW-II plane that went down in the Arctic with a machine that could "see" through the ice.  They found it - under 18 feet of ice.  I'll as it the possibility the earth may be warming.  I think it's always warming or cooling.  Just not convinced it's because of men/autos/cow flatulence, etc etc

What you obviously missed, Englebert, is that this process is caused by man on Earth, but on Mars, it occurs naturally.

UNLESS, as REB has pointed out, someone did smuggle a Briggs and Stratton to Mars.

 While we were going to the Moon, the Russians were secretly  sending a space colony to Mars. 

 Let the Americans think they won the space race .........

Because you are trying to make some kind of connection between Mars melting ice(which apparently it's not) and Earth's.

Where did someone do that? I certainly did not. The contention was that Mars' climate is changing, but Man is not present. The moral being that climate changes naturally, and is not necessitated on Man's involvement, contrary to what the religion of Climate Change nut-cases are demanding us believe...without any proof.

Just stop. You want to make a connection between earth and mars.

Yes, the connection is both planets have naturally occurring climate change. You are the one that needs to stop trying to ridicule people that are pointing out that simple concept. Your are interjecting things not said...things that reside in your head and projected onto the rest of us. That's what deserves the LOL.

the entire article says there is no correlation.    It's due to the tilt of Mar's axis.    Why is this posted here?   Tell me
