Some critics of climate change insist that other planets are undergoing a climate change.
A report came out that said a polar cap of Mars' ice was melting. However, this was a localized activity, not global. The ice was merely displacing itself and will deposit again later. Some people jumped on this and said it was climate change but those who did the research in the first place bluntly said NO. Unfortunately, even though it is not scientifically controversial, some conservative pundits like to make it controversial.
You can read more about it, including details, here:

A National Geographic article:
""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].)

"Mars has no [large] moon, which makes its wobbles much larger, and hence the swings in climate are greater too," Wilson said. "

There's also alot we don't know about Mars. For example, scientists just found out (a week or two ago) that the caps are indeed primarily H20, not dry ice.
Also, geographic features from the past two observations of a portion of mars show that water created some features. This means water is still flowing on Mars.

They aren't. There's some indication that Mars may be in a natural warming cycle, but that's all.

Which has nothing to do with Earth's current warming pattern, which is caused by human activiies releasing CO2 into the atmosphere in massive quantities.

And, BTW--the myth that "all planets" arewarming is a deliberate bit of misinformation spread by special interests. For more details, go to the Royal Society (UK) website and search for information on global warming and misinformation. There's several sources their that report on their investigations.

The sun may be responsible for the other planets, but it's not the main cause of global warming on Earth.

Actual data shows it's not the suns 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.

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.

What scientists think. Not from the "liberal" media.

""While evidence suggests fluctuations in solar activity can affect climate on Earth, and that it has done so in the past, the majority of climate scientists and astrophysicists agree that the sun is not to blame for the current and historically sudden uptick in global temperatures on Earth, which seems to be mostly a mess created by our own species."

not all planets have global warming.
for example , mercury don't have a atmosphere due to the absence of gravity.
so it becomes hot in day times[ 400 deg] and very cold at night[-200 deg].
whereas, Venus has atmosphere that has 50% - 90%.
so, it experiences green house effect an global warming.
mars has gravity but in very less pro potion.
hence, it is same as mercury in temp. ranging from -120 -+25.
some planets like Pluto , Neptune & saturn are cold because they are far away from sun.

i think there's no global warming in the other planets in our solar system coz there's no human who proved that there is!

Only the ones closest to the sun, earth is the third planet from
the sun. All the rest are much farther away.

Yes, why? There is nobody or nothing there to cause it. Why? Some people think we are causing it. Why? Some people are worried about it happening here. Why? People think they will die from it. Why? Al Gore is alive. Why? Some people think it can be stopped or 'fixed'. Why? bill clinton was president. WHY????? I didn't put him into a coma when I had a prime chance to do so. WHY??? Why all this whyning? WHY?

There's no such evidence or postulate out there. Nice try.

are there people over there dying as well ,and do they have deforestation and desertification because of agriculture and expanding populations
and industrial polution
as well as exchanging bio mass for concrete and ashalt????????????????????????
