Yes, the carbon dioxide polar caps of Mars are shrinking, according to observations made with the Mars Odyssey and Mars Global Surveyor probes.

It is suspected that Mars is undergoing global warming after a period of global cooling and an ice age.

Periods of planetary global cooling and warming, including those of the Earth and Mars, are affected by changes in the intensity of solar radiation and sunspot activity.

The sun isn't getting hotter, it's getting cooler, and billions of years from now will burn out like a light bulb burning out. Mars doesn't have any polar ice caps, in fact, Mars has no water on it's surface or in it's atmosphere at this time. Recent data from the Mars probe suggests that water used to be on Mars, but has since dissipated.
The global warming the earth is experiencing is due to carbon dioxide entering the atmosphere of Earth more rapidly then any other time in the history of the Earth, and this excess CO2 is damaging the protective surface of Earth by combining with other elements that are very destructive. The evidence is very clear that we're causing this excess CO2 (among other gases too), and it's not just from natural cyclic occurrence of climate change.

most of mars water is frozen as permafrost beneath its surface. mars has its own atmosphere and is not affected directly by our problem with global warming. The sun can't get hotter cause hydrogen and helium only get so hot. It would need other elements in higher quantities to reach those temperatures. In fact the sun doesn't cool as it ages but will turn into a red giant. This is because the burning process occurring is what keeps gravity from collapsing the sun. When the sun burns a lot of the hydrogen and has a lot of helium this is when the sun grows to a red giant. This will NOT occur for a LONG time. There is definitely water on mars in permafrost... in fact part of the terraform plan is to emit CO2 into the atmosphere along with placing biologically engineered algae in the melting water to produce oxygen. Our orbit may be close to the sun right now... same as mars.. which would make the global warming on both planets relative. But mars atmosphere weakened because it was more sensitive and closer to the suns radiation. So yes our orbit has something to do with the warming but u must think of greenhouse gases as a magnifying glass/wool jacket. It traps heat in and also amplifies the UV rays breaking the atmosphere. Its all connected.

So far, we can safely say that the polar caps on Mars melting have nothing to do with global warming here on Earth.On Mars, the polar ice sheets sublimate (melt a little) and freeze up again in the winter. During the melting on Mars layer of rock ,etc. are exposded. Howver, it feezes up again. It's like a zipper pulled and let down and then back up. The zipper works wheither up or down.

Global warming here on Earth is due to human and non-human aerosol distirbution in the ozone layer. There has been so much since is it's 1900's discovery that a 1 percent difference has been noted, with most of the differing temperature disovered in the last two decades. But, I wouldn't get overly worried about Mars; rather, I would shfit toward a better Earth and forget that the others planets exist (they are far enough away for us to not to do much damage, if at all) and to saving the environment. I mean, you know you are not living on Mars. Scientific study is fine but what good is it when the planet is about to fold in on us)? What good does it all mean when we continue to mock the seasons, earthly disturbances, ecosystem processes (this is for the evolutonists who may just happen to comb their hair, eat, use hairspray, drive an automobile, etc)? We are on our way to ruining this world, day by day and minute by minute. We, in this family, do our part to preserve and heal our envinronment.

Climate change has nothing to do with the sun getting hotter, and it is not getting hotter. It has to do with the heat given to and produced upon the earth being trapped under a layer of gases that humans produce from burning fossil fuels, principally, and also from raising cattle and swine and growing rice, which give off methane, and other activities that do the same.

The polar regions of Mars are unchanged in their normal waxing and waning.

No, the sun isn't getting hotter. By climate change, do you mean global warming? That's generally believed to be caused by the buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere, caused by human activity. Obviously that wouldn't affect Mars.

The sun's temperature isn't the change that's causing the warming, it's carbon dioxide which keeps heat within the atmosphere instead of letting it escape to space, which heats up faster when it accumulates. Venus for instance has a lot of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases that make it's temperature so hot that it's never cold enough for us to live on.

The reason for the Climate Change is do to the O Zone Layer
is getting thin do to the pollution of carbon from motor vehicles
and chemical plants and mills

among many stuff, your question additionally very extremely forgets to show the huge metallic plane travelling at hundreds of miles consistent with hour slamming into the development. it is not basically approximately melting metallic with ignited jet gasoline. the super ask your self wave that would have weakened that impression section have already weakened the form before everything. Why is it so difficult to end that a huge plane slamming right into a development will topple it?
