“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 space research at 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. ”

One of my favorite bar tricks is to ask an AGW-ist what they thought the cause if the ice caps melting. They naturally were quick to answer AGW, so I correct myself; “Oh I’m sorry, I meant the ice caps on Mars”. This usually ends in denials or stunned silence.

I totally agree that the whole climate change thing is a power play by those who want to play god. You know the news has been full of this or that will kill you, don’t go outside. It is pathetic. Every crackpot in the world is an alarmist and it makes people feel important. I am cool with that but eventually it will become an excuse to diminish the value of life. Sooner or later it is time for the big scythes to come out. Are you a reaper or a sower? Eventually it will come out that anybody who pushes these theories are just misanthropes and believe in genocide. I am not waiting around to be downsized. Maybe Al Gore would like to volunteer.
