Darn You Chimpy McBushitler!
First you destroy the Earth, and now you’re ruining Mars as well!
Simultaneous warming on Earth and Mars suggests that our planet’s recent climate changes have a natural—and not a human- induced—cause, according to one scientist’s controversial theory.
Earth is currently experiencing rapid warming, which the vast majority of climate scientists says is due to humans pumping huge amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.
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.
“The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,” he said.
Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun’s heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.
Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.
“Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance,” Abdussamatov said.
Yet another fine project from Halliburton World Slaying, LLC.

It’s not just Mars. Jupiter’s been warming too, I hear. Them eeeeeeevuuuullll SUVs get around.
Damn. It IS the SUVs.
It’s controversial because it deprives Gorezilla of the modest income necessary to maintain his humble dwelling in Tennessee.
Maybe that’s why the aliens are coming, according to Frederica Wilson and Paul Hellyer – they want us to quit beaming solar power at their ice caps.
That’s why we left the catalytic converters off the V-8 engines on the Mars Rovers.
Cuz George is just evil that way…
No, no, look at the bright side!
We’re not DESTROYING Mars, we’re TERRAFORMING it! Mars is currently too cold for life.
When that asteroid scheduled to hit us in 2036 gets here, Mars should be all ready – nice and toasty warm – for us to just move over there.
I understand there are some real estate agents who are suggesting we get in on the “ground floor” of Martian property.
