Global Warming Hits Mars

Now that climate change is heating up Mars to the point where it might lose its southern ice cap, I wonder what we can do about it. Is there any way we can purchase carbon offsets on the Martian's behalf so that they can be spared this impending doom?

Scientists from NASA say that Mars has warmed by about 0.5C since the 1970s. This is similar to the warming experienced on Earth over approximately the same period.

Since there is no known life on Mars it suggests rapid changes in planetary climates could be natural phenomena.

The mechanism at work on Mars appears, however, to be different from that on Earth. One of the researchers, Lori Fenton, believes variations in radiation and temperature across the surface of the Red Planet are generating strong winds.

In a paper published in the journal Nature, she suggests that such winds can stir up giant dust storms, trapping heat and raising the planet’s temperature.

The above pictured Rover must be one bad ass SUV that's causing all the global warming on planet Mars. After all, nothing else is up there that could be causing the climate change. It must be the "Sojourner" Pathfinder Rover that's doing all the damage.

The obvious question that will go unasked by mainstream media types is this: why isn't our climate change blamed on natural temperature fluctuations extant throughout the ages, eons before the elitist's private jets soared the friendly skies.
