Global Warming Spreads to Mars
The global warming crisis has now reached interplanetary dimensions, with data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions showing that Mars' south pole ice caps have been shrinking for years.
Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of Russia's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, reaches this politically reprehensible conclusion:
The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars.
According to Abdussamatov's radical theory, warmth comes from the sun. The fact that solar radiation fluctuates explains why the climates on both Earth and Mars also fluctuate, whether we drive SUVs or run around in loincloths.
Let's hope Dr. Abdussamatov isn't angling for any UN research grants. Here's an observation more likely to meet with "consensus" approval in today's hyperpoliticized research environment: Mars' ice caps have been melting since 2002. This is the very same year Chevrolet came out with the Avalanche, the first vehicle to combine a six-passenger SUV with a full-size pickup truck.
Draw your own conclusion — and if you want a career in climate science, make sure you draw the correct one.
On a tip from V the K.

told yah. Its solar system or God forbid Universal warming. Just be very careful when someone wants to claim or grant carbon offsets for... Uranus....;-\

I will only be convinced of this scientist's research if Heidi Cullen insists that his AMI credentials be revoked.
Has anyone called Al with the news? Or is he on a plane to somewhere?

I have decided on going into the selling of carbon offsets. For every dollar you send me I will refrain from flatulating one time per day for a week. You won't do any better elsewhere. It's a real bargain! In advance I thank you for your business and my wife most especially thanks you.

We must find out IMMEDIATELY what steps John Carter, the Warlord of Mars, is taking to halt this influx of Barsoomian global warming! Where is _Barsoom In the Balance_?

Joseph:
John Carter was a big time environmental polluter. He and his pals pumped out huge amounts of harmful eighth rays into the Martian atmosphere without any UN style restrictions. Barsoomian global warming was all his fault.
Just ask Al Gore. He didn't read any of Burroughs' books, but he didn't invent the internet either, so what the Hell.
