I just read that Mars has "global warming" Shouldn't Martians quit using fossil fuels?

Question

Someone tell me again how using fossil fuels contribute to global warming. But, they had better offer proof that inhabitants of Mars are doing the same thing.

Answer 1

No, why would martians want a planet that is below freezing level? Mars is very cold, so they need global warming.

Answer 2

the way that i see it is that global warming on the earth is caused by fossil fuel combustion eventually turning into gas. The main contributer of these emissions are cars and trucks or vehicles and also houses that heat using fuels. The gas rises up to the atmosphere because it is heated. and it stays there until it starts to cool down where as it decends to the earth.

Now we get our energy from the sun and the enery is given to us in a form of radiation. And light energy. some of that energy hits earth and gets through earth and travels in earth. but some of it also gets reflects or not let through the atmosphere and therefore it travels as infared out into space. The radiation that did get in warms our planet. Happy ending. However with the emissions that our houses and cars are making the atmosphere and the ozone layer get thickker in a sense and trap more of the radiation in the earth other than letting some reflecting in the earth and then leaving most is trapped and therefore the result is global warming.

Answer 3

"The paper is interesting but it hasn't got anything to do with the question of human impact on global warming on Earth," Dr Nicholls said.

"It's not an excuse to argue that humans are not causing global warming on Earth."

The research was done by a team led by Lori Fenton of the NASA Ames Research Centre at Moffett Field, California.

They used a computer model based on those devised to study global warming on Earth, adding Martian features such as a cold, airless surface and a shifting south polar ice cap while subtracting Earth's oceans and atmosphere.

Dr Fenton's group found that annual variation in the solar radiation reflected from the surface of Mars - its "albedo" - contributed to the warming by causing more blowing dust.

Over the past 30 years the dust swept clean large swaths of the planet's surface, reducing reflected radiation.

The result was a "positive feedback loop" between dust, wind, albedo and temperature.

"It's a nice piece of work," said UNSW climate scientist Andy Pitman.

"But there are no implications for Earth."

Answer 4

I believe the one time we sent the Mars Rover to Mars it emitted enough carbon dioxide to raise the global temperature of Mars by 1 degree. Perhaps we should now enforce penalties upon NASA. Hey, that would mean no more space shuttle missions too since it emits enough gasses during liftoff to choke the entire world population.

By the way, MEANDEAN's response is an excellent example of the lunacy involved in this farce we know of as Global Warming. I get a good chuckle each time.

Answer 5

Yup, WOW, DO you just suppose the global warming stuff, might just be say..... NATURAL SOLAR PROCESSES?????

Yup, Send Al Gore and all the other Global Marxists to Mar to fix that planet and we'd resolve our problem by getting rid of a bunch of "hot air"..

Media Shows Irrational Hysteria on Global Warming

"The Public Has Been Vastly Misinformed," NCPA's Deming Tells Senate Committee

12/6/2006 5:57:00 PM

Contact: Sean Tuffnell of the National Center for Policy Analysis, 972-308-6481 or [e-mail]

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- David Deming, an associate professor at the University of Oklahoma and an adjunct scholar with the National Center for Policy Analysis (NCPA), testified this morning at a special hearing of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. The hearing examined climate change and the media. Bellow are excerpts from his prepared remarks.

"In 1995, I published a short paper in the academic journal Science. In that study, I reviewed how borehole temperature data recorded a warming of about one degree Celsius in North America over the last 100 to 150 years. The week the article appeared, I was contacted by a reporter for National Public Radio. He offered to interview me, but only if I would state that the warming was due to human activity. When I refused to do so, he hung up on me.

"I had another interesting experience around the time my paper in Science was published. I received an astonishing email from a major researcher in the area of climate change. He said, "We have to get rid of the Medieval Warm Period." "The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) was a time of unusually warm weather that began around 1000 AD and persisted until a cold period known as the "Little Ice Age" took hold in the 14th century. ... The existence of the MWP had been recognized in the scientific literature for decades. But now it was a major embarrassment to those maintaining that the 20th century warming was truly anomalous. It had to be "gotten rid of."

"In 1999, Michael Mann and his colleagues published a reconstruction of past temperature in which the MWP simply vanished. This unique estimate became known as the "hockey stick," because of the shape of the temperature graph. "Normally in science, when you have a novel result that appears to overturn previous work, you have to demonstrate why the earlier work was wrong. But the work of Mann and his colleagues was initially accepted uncritically, even though it contradicted the results of more than 100 previous studies. Other researchers have since reaffirmed that the Medieval Warm Period was both warm and global in its extent.

"There is an overwhelming bias today in the media regarding the issue of global warming. In the past two years, this bias has bloomed into an irrational hysteria. Every natural disaster that occurs is now linked with global warming, no matter how tenuous or impossible the connection. As a result, the public has become vastly misinformed."

Answer 6

are you from the middle ages or what ,we ARE the Martians .or at least their offspring ,

off those that managed to escape before the cosmic collision that knocked Mars out of orbit and resulted in the loss of their atmosphere,and life on Mars seized for all of eternity ,that means now as well.

burning fossil fuels gives of smoke, it is the smoke that is doing the damage ,it damages ,and changes the protective layer that surrounds this planet
if we don't change we will end up looking like mars
and that is a dessert ,or dead planet .
ever wondered why it was called the god of War

Maybe the Martians were like us .
or maybe our destructive urges are genetic memories

Answer 7

This is science. The proof is in the data. The data says it's not the same deal on Earth and on Mars.

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."

Answer 8

Mars and Pluto and probably the earth are showing warming because the energy output of the sun has gone up .15% in the last 30 years. Here's an article from 2003 that all the alarmists ignore today.

Answer 9

their space ships burn their ozone faster b/c the radioactivety of the decayed Mariatian animals is much higher than earth fossil fuels
-global warming is caused by the burning of carbon that is in fossil fuels burns through the (mostly nitrogen) atmosphere
(by the way i don't beleive global
warming is real)

Answer 10

...-_-...



P.S Global warming on Mars is caused by periodical dust storms. And global warming on Earth isn't just caused by fossil fuels emissions also deforestation, water vapor, etc.
