Mars Melt Hints at Solar, Not Human, Cause for Warming, Scientist Says
GAAKH! Now humans are polluting the neighborhood. This never would have happened if Algore had been elected.
“The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars,” he said.
...who compete with him for funding.Abdussamatov’s work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists…
no kidding“His views are completely at odds with the mainstream scientific opinion,” said Colin Wilson, a planetary physicist at England’s Oxford University.
“And they contradict the extensive evidence presented in the most recent IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] report.” (Related: “Global Warming ‘Very Likely’ Caused by Humans, World Climate Experts Say” [February 2, 2007].)
why do these lunatics continue to unquestioningly refer to the same politically motivated studies?
Theories are just that, theory. Observations: gee it’s getting warmer here, so that must be due to human activity.Amato Evan, a climate scientist at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, added that “the idea just isn’t supported by the theory or by the observations.”
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. (Related: “Don’t Blame Sun for Global Warming, Study Says” [September 13, 2006].)
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.
So the same process that can’t possibly be the reason for Earth’s warming is obviously the reason for Mar’s warming? How do people believe these guys? This is too much.
