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.
Solar Cycles
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.
By studying fluctuations in the warmth of the sun, Abdussamatov believes he can see a pattern that fits with the ups and downs in climate we see on Earth and Mars.
Abdussamatov's work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists.
"Planets' Wobbles" (Or da ol' switcheroo)
The conventional theory is that climate changes on Mars can be explained primarily by small alterations in the planet's orbit and tilt, not by changes in the sun.
"Wobbles in the orbit of Mars are the main cause of its climate change in the current era," Oxford's Wilson explained. (Ya don't blame the obvious, blame the very notion on something else.)
All planets experience a few wobbles as they make their journey around the sun. Earth's wobbles are known as Milankovitch cycles and occur on time scales of between 20,000 and 100,000 years.
These fluctuations change the tilt of Earth's axis and its distance from the sun and are thought to be responsible for the waxing and waning of ice ages on Earth.
Mars and Earth wobble in different ways, and most scientists think it is pure coincidence that both planets are between ice ages right now. (Mmm Hmmm...)
"Mars has no [large] moon, which makes its wobbles much larger, and hence the swings in climate are greater too," Wilson said. (Of coarse!)
No Greenhouse
He claims that carbon dioxide has only a small influence on Earth's climate and virtually no influence on Mars.
But "without the greenhouse effect there would be very little, if any, life on Earth, since our planet would pretty much be a big ball of ice," said Evan, of the University of Wisconsin.
Abdussamatov remains contrarian, however, suggesting that the sun holds something quite different in store.
"The solar irradiance began to drop in the 1990s, and a minimum will be reached by approximately 2040," Abdussamatov said. "It will cause a steep cooling of the climate on Earth in 15 to 20 years."
When your planet becomes warm wouldn't it be wise to first question da source of da heat? Eco-minded scientists seem to "poo poo" the idea that the sun, our source of heat, has any responsibility for a change of temperature on Earth. They fail to release information that leads to solar flares as the reason that our planet is warming. Even though they know this has happened hundreds of times, if not thousands of times, in it's history. Or is it they don't want to even broach that topic, or are they paid not to study the obvious, our Sun. There are real scientists that are studying the phenomenon that is happening to our planet. And they have real answers. They are not paid buy oil companies or venture capitalists so their science is not being recognized by the "pay media". We on our own should start to see what this "Climate Change" lobby is really trying to sell.
1) Carbon Taxes. 2) Eco venture capitalists. 3) Higher oil prices. 4) Control of all energy markets... Etc...
But the worst of all: An end to any real social economic problems. Because your tax money will be wasted elsewhere. Much like a vacuum.
When a man like Al Gore is at the head of a movement like "Global Warming" or whatever he's calling it now? " Climate Change"? You have to ask yourself why? This is a man that has never in his life done anything but for Al Gore. He was instrumental in taking away rights and freedoms of artists in da 1980's. He did this only to make a name for himself. This is a driven man that holds major stocks and holdings in pharmaceutical and medical fields. Such as the H1N1 virus vaccine. "Google Al Gore and H1N1" and get a surprise. He also has ties with venture capitalists in the oil industry. His family owns a huge amount of stock in Colombian Oil. In fact his government was at fault in deregulating the oil market. In so much has raked in millions dollars doing so. This man at best is a lair. And at worst a fraud and a con artist.
You have to ask yourself. What does he have in it?
And if he is the leader? How good is the cause?
