Mars Rover SUV’s Destroy Enviroment

Just over three years after NASA landed SUV’s on the surface of Mars the climate is going to heck:

Mars is being hit by rapid climate change and it is happening so fast that the red planet could lose its southern ice cap, writes Jonathan Leake.

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.

Fenton’s team unearthed heat maps of the Martian surface from Nasa’s Viking mission in the 1970s and compared them with maps gathered more than two decades later by Mars Global Surveyor. They found there had been widespread changes, with some areas becoming darker.

NASA and the scientific community sure have the nerve to suggest that natural causes can cause the climate to change across an entire planet.  We all know that the cause of everything (especially if it’s bad) is man.  I have it on good authority that the Mars Rover SUV’s were especially bad because they used this high tech method of propulsion called “solar energy”. 

We all know how harmful solar energy can be.  Solar power is actually 100% responsible for the global warming that’s seen on Mars.  I sure hope we don’t get any solar energy here on Earth to warm it up any more.

That was delightful, Whistler.  However, I kinda like the solar energy we’re getting today, even though it gave me a bit of a sunburn on Saturday when I was celebrating “Earth Day Every Day” by cutting down two trees and burning out a stump.

Oh, and cooking marshmallows over the coals of the stump.  Yum!

Come on now, Whistler, you don’t seriously think that the large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, about 93,000,000 miles away, that is capable of heating some parts of the Earth to temperatures in excess of 125 degrees Fahrenheit, could possibly have anything to do with the climate of our planet, do you?

the large, fiery ball at the center of our solar system, about 93,000,000 miles away,

That’s old science.  Algore told me that that was a large bright chariot pulled by eight tiny reindeer.

Try to stay current with current environmental science.

Obviously something like that has no chance of affecting the planets climate unlike the incandescent bulb in my reading lamp.


What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

So… Wait… You think that the ”Sun” has… What?…

Something to do with…

BWAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is the STUPIDEST thing I have EVER HEARD!!!!! 

BWAAHAHAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

It is not a “sun”.  It is a fiery chariot pulled by 8 tiny reindeer.  Algore told me and he knows his science.

It’s that evil NASA solar energy that’s destroying the environment.

It is a fiery chariot

I thought Chariots of Fire was a bunch of British dudes running across the beach!



A troll is someone who only wants to stir up trouble, not have an honest debate.  Some signs that a poster is a troll:
* Dodges questions from other posters * Refuses to give sources
* When one of its arguments is shown to be false, either ignores the proof or moves the goalposts.  Heh. (From the LGF faq)

This looks like a job for CAPT OBVIOUS! Perhaps he could save us from this quandriatic conundrum.

Is he related to Captain Planet?  I’m sure he’d tell us that Mars’s climate change was due to evil American capitalists!

I think I found the answer, it’s the the brightest light in the universe found here- Physicists Create Most Powerful Light in the Universe They must have done testing by aiming it at Mars. wink

Mike. Giving you the benefit of “doubt” here. infoaddict looks really sweet, I am rather reticent when it comes to surrendering bits of my personal information. Rather than take the out of googling it I’m just going to come right out and ask.

Is infoaddict a “do right” kind of webpage? They ain’t going to sell my skid marked skivvies to a bunch of spambot goombaus, are they. Cause it does look sweet.
