How could someone compare or Earth with a Dead planets. Without not calculating in the fact we have plants.?

Question

How does some compare Global warming on earth with dead plant I don't think it would be accurate at all!
You to got remember that this would be so much different than our atmosphere.
It would be hard for anyone to compare data. Because you have living plants that
consume the carbon dioxide here on Earth.

Really all of these dead planets trying to compare them to or earth
is kind of difficult and really complex one. You would have calculate
the fact that we have plants and they don't this would account for
atmosphere gases changing but not in other in other planets.

It would be irresponsible for someone to say that or Global warming is caused from the sun and
just ignore it. If or Global warming is caused from the sun then this could be
double trouble for Earth. Because we may also be contributing to global warming
a small amount would be enough to be very serious. This would be more reason
to try curb are C02 gases and try to reduce green house effect. What I saying is just think about
the fact if this is a combination of a natural phase occurrence of global warming and also the added man made affect added to the natural phase. Then it could be a very bad Global Warming!

Answer 1

I guess you're referring to the warming on Mars we hear about so often from the global warming skeptics.

I've studied this in detail and the bottom line is that we don't know for certain what is causing the warming on Mars. What we do know is that parts are showing signs of warming and at the same time other parts are showing signs of cooling. For example, the south polar ice cap is melting whilst at the same time the north polar ice cap is expanding. Any warming on Mars is therefore not on a global scale. The most probably explanation is the global dust storms that periodically sweep across the entire planet whipping up vast amounts of dust.

As you quite rightly point out, comparing Earth with other planets is very difficult because our planet is so unique amongst all the other planets and moons. Not just in the fact we have plants but that we're 70% water, have a breathable atmosphere, have a very different atmsosphere, have an equable temperature and many other factors.

One factor that the global warming skeptics fail to take into account (as per the previous answer) is that there are 172 planets and moons in our solar system and on all but a few of them no warming has been observed, this immediately rules out the sun as being the cause.

Each of the planets and moons where warming has been observed (Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Triton and Encaladus) are very different and it's beleived that each has it's own unique reasons for experiencing warming.

Answer 2

The biggest illusion is that they try to compare the MARS WARMING with ours on our planet while Mars has an atmosphere about 1/160th of ours... this is ridiculous.

Off course the solar radiation does contribute by far more directly on Mars since the atmosphere is so thin and has very few greenhouse gases. As such, the temperature there is a much easy and direct relation of the Sun radiation.
This is not the case on earth since we have so much energy stored in the latent heat of the different phases of water: ice/liquid and liquid/vapour.

And BTW some other planets and natural satellites of planets are also cooling.

Answer 3

People like Nickel are purposefully or obstinately ignoring the point. The point is that if Mars is warming, then it points to the sun as the likely cause, not man's emissions of CO2.
