If man kind is the cause of global warming, why are mars and venus also suffering global warming?

Question

Scientists are reporting that the atmospheres of Mars and Venus are also increasing in overall temperatures. So if man is the CAUSE, that means we must be on those worlds too. If not, then Global Warming is a Natural Development.

I agree that man is affecting the course of global warming, not global warming itself. The earth goes through a cycle that swings from Ice Age to Tropic Age.

Imagine the top of the Tropic age as a global Garden of Eden. Where steam rises from the ground to water every thing. That is the direction that we are supposed to be going.

Every once in a while there will be quick events, such as sudden melting or breaking of large ice fields. This is known as a Quickining event.

What we are doing is bending the swing to Tropic age and are pushing the earth to a Desert Age. That may actually destroy the earth's ability to maintain life.

The tree zones are supposed to be expanding. The Desert Zones are expanding instead. We have to change course and restore the tree zones. The older trees must be forever off limits to cutting down. They are the ones with the best water retaining abilities.

In a tropic age, the water is stored in tree zones.

Just as a reminder, the sun controls weather patters too, and being that mar's atmosphere is thinner, it would be more suseptable to the influence of solar winds, so even if the martian winds uncovered darker rocks, they only amount to a portian of the process. Solar Physisists are saying the sun is much more active that normal for this time in its solar cycles.

Answer 1

The global climate of earth is constantly changing. It is a natural process and does not follow any set cycle. Over the last one billion years the earth has seen 4 ice ages (including the one the earth is currently in) that lasted for one third of the last billion years. The other two thirds of the last billion years, the earth did not have major glaciation. The warming of the earth now is bringing it back to its "normal" condition.

Even since the receding of the last extensive glacial period, the earths temperature has been continually fluctuating around 2 deg C above and below the current temperature. See the attached link for Current Major Interglacial. You can see temperature reconstructions for both antarctica and greenland. You'll see that both areas have seen warmer temperatures and faster warming rates than present over the last 10,000 years. In fact, if you look at the greenland temperatures, you will see that it was warmer than present for MOST of the last 10,000 years. The current warming is completely natural, and not unprecedented.

Answer 2

Humans aren't the cause of global warming. However, human activity has accelerated the speed at which global warming is upon us. In other words, as part of this natural warming trend there'd be gradual ice melt, etc etc. Many creatures would have time to gradually migrate including humans. Much like the way coastlines erode and change shape. That erosion in one spot causes build up in another and so forth. Human activity has made this warming a little bit hotter and a little bit faster so there's less time to adapt. And instead of saying there is ice melt, let's move this or that inland or whatever you got rich people on the coast demanding the government build sea walls and you got people getting flooded every storm season who didn't used to be. I'm 46 and there's been noticeable change in the weather and in the pollution levels during my life time. All the older people know there's been a change in the seasons. The weather is hotter and drier in the summer and stormier and wetter in the winter. And the pollution gives me headaches, etc. So regardless of the cause it's important to focus on adaptation and take the focus off politics and minute differences of opinion. We all agree global warming is real. And we all agree that pollution is at unhealthy levels. Forget the rest.

Answer 3

first I am not convinced that man is the source of global warming, but I do have the answer to your question. Comparing satilite pictures of mars from the 70s with recent ones they have discovered that mars is much darker know, it appears that wind on mars has moved sediment uncovering dark rocks, dark objects absorb more heat than light ones, so they believe that these rocks are tapping heat and raising mars temperature, I am unsure about the warming on venus, but I would guess that it is the same.

Answer 4

This global warming is not the first time the earth has had global warming. We don't know why the other periods of global warming occurred but they were not man made.

A lot of people think that this global warming is caused by burning fossil fuels. However, a lot of people think that the world is flat but that does not make it so.

At a guess I would say that this global warming is probably natural but our burning of fossil fuels may be accelerating the process.

Answer 5

Very true. Man-made global warming is a hoax. It's pure propaganda to get us put into fear once more, and for what? A global carbon tax. CO2 isn't a deadly gas. It's what the plantlife on this planet breathe to create oxygen for us and other oxygen breathing life. Volcano's produce more CO2 than all of mankind in one eruption than we do in 100yrs.

The cause of global warming is THE SUN!!!! It's getting brighter and in turn warming things up in this solar system.

Answer 6

Thank you there is some sense in the world. CO2 makes up like 2% of gases in the atmosphere. And each year humans make like .0049% hmm not that much huh

Answer 7

Yes. I can't wait to hear how the global warming zealots will explain how we are affecting the sun as well.

Answer 8

i think that global warming is a natural cycle, helped along by humans. may i add something, i told yahoo not to send me any cfi bulbs. they contain mercury. my suggestion, do not break one in your house. check them out before you accept. if i am wrong, i apologize, but i do not think so. better to be careful.

Answer 9

Global warming IS a cyclical event.
MAN has escalated the cyclical nature of that event in the past 150 years because of his "industrial revolution" that has allowed smoke-belching factories and ghastly vehicle emissions to disrupt the natural cycle of things. Global warming on Mars and Venus won't affect human beings. Our selfish interference with the natural order of things WILL affect those of us here on Earth. -RKO- 05/12/07

Answer 10

I don't necessarily agree. Other planets have different atmospheres and different natural climates.
