Apparently Scientists are finding "Global Warming" on MARS, and various other Planets within the Solar System in addition to Earth.
So unless someones driving SUV's on MARS or has started up a Coal Mine there, what could be causing this in the SOLAR system?
What else in the SOLAR system could be causing this SOLAR activity?
Scientist continue to study the SOLAR system, yet are baffled by the SOLAR system as to what in the SOLAR system could be causing this warming.

Increased solar radiation may be warming Mars, but it's not the main cause of the recent and rapid warming of the Earth.
Actual data shows it's not increased solar radiation that's the major cause of global warming on Earth, it's us. Solar radiation is carefully measured. Climatologists include it in their analysis. Did you think they wouldn't do that?
The results are in the report below. Increased solar radiation is 0.12 watts per meter squared. Man's warming is 1.6 watts per meter squared, more than ten times as much.

Actually, scientists most certainly are NOT finding 'global warming' on Mars, despite what Rush Limbaugh et al would like you to believe.
What has been observed is some melting of the southern ice cap which is attributable to the fact that, well, it's SPRINGTIME ON MARS.
You people really need to get your facts straight and, well, just straight up get some facts.

Edit: It would be interesting to know how many deniers even paused for a single second to think about what I just said.
I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of them will simply brush this aside, and most likely turn right around and use this exact same argument again.

My guess is the satellites they've been launching. The residue electricity has to go some where, perhaps causing more heat. It could be the sun has become stronger, which is likely to happen, since the sun has lived half its age already. (That's also why the sun is yellow!) Also, all the robots and such they've been sending to study can't be helping. I hope I helped, bye.

Yep Mars is warming along with the earth and we don't know what percentage we may be adding to our warming if any.

Maybe Al Gore has a house there he isn't telling anyone about, and his privet secret space shuttle he uses to get to Mars is whats really heating up Earth.
