How do you explain the warming on Mars?

Answer 1

Warming on Mars is caused by variations in Mars's orbit. It is well known and well understood and of course has nothing to do with global warming on earth. Nor is it caused by variations in the Sun's output.

Answer 2

It has been said that the temperature on Earth is getting hotter. In Al Gore’s; "Inconvenient Truth," I heard that a footnote stated; “The Sun is getting hotter” (I have not seen the documentary or read anything on his findings). In DVM’s; "Inconvenient Fact," I heard that the temperature on Mars is getting hotter. At this point in time, I know of no humans living on Mars. Why is the temperature on Mars getting hotter? The Sun is getting hotter. How can we stop Global Warming? Keep in mind; I’m not saying that the Sun is the only reason for “Global Warming,” we have all polluted the Earth. Reducing pollution and conserving energy should be a goal of everyone.
My SOLUTION for Global Warming:
NASA sends a “Sun Shield” with memory metal into space. When deployed, the memory metal will stretch the shield into a large circle or a square. The space shuttle’s astronauts will put the shield into orbit at a location that will block some of the Sun’s rays over a spot. This will decrease the Sun’s rays that hit the Earth. Thus, decreasing the surface and ocean temperatures. Because of the decrease in ocean temperature, the number of hurricanes should decrease. Yes, there are more benefits. The size, number of shields, and locations need to be determined. Again, we all need to decrease pollution and conserve on energy.

Answer 3

I don't, it's another planet, we don't live on it, we don't know it's history.

We live on this one, we know it's history and can research it's history farther back.

But with Mars it's speculation as to it's history, we don't have enough facts on it to even begin to speculate. It could just be that it has longer seasons based on orbit, or some other phenomenon.

But to say the Earth and Mars are tied directly, as with the sun, is a theory that should be studied, but it does ignore the fact that they're 2 different plants, with 2 different environmental systems, totally independent of each other.

Basically, we don't know it's history far back enough, we do know ours, we also can't test Mars for thousands of years of temperature change, we can here.

Plus we live here, not on Mars, it's temperature isn't that relevant, it doesn't stop the fact that we're headed toward disaster here, and that we should do all we can to avoid it. We cannot just depend on inaction anymore, it's not logical.

Answer 4

Is one of the answerers Al Gore in disguise or did we get a preview of the next Tom Cruise movie?

How do you know Mars is warming and long have we studied Mars?

Answer 5

luckily it is not my job to explain that ,
Exept that global warming is very popular right now ,many planets are getting into it ,So the Sun Is having a slow stroke maybe

But why are you asking ??
are you suggesting that Humanity is NOT responsible for major Environmental destruction .

Because that cannot be white washed

WHO OR WHAT IS TO BLAME

Irresponsible Agriculture , expanding populations and its effects are the planets biggest enemies.

This text only covers some aspects of Climate change ,i.e.effects of deforestation and subsequent man made desertification ,because of irresponsible farming using chemicals ,over pumping carbon aquifers,over grazing ,wild fires (because of slash and burn gone out of control).

Water and air polution ,such as caused by
industrial contamination ,the contaminating effects of the cities(the internal combustion engine) ,are other stories.

All of these are also man made ,such as the high industrial chimneys pumping contamination into the clouds and the burning of tires,some of this polution has been found in the ice in the polar regions.

There are natural cycles in the planets life
but a lot is influenced by mans existance ,this is increasing with overpopulation,putting strains on Natural resources and increasing contaminations .

The thinner ozone layer helps to speed this up. This is caused mainly by air polution ,also as a result of mans actions.

In North Africa,India,Mexico ,millions of people are effected by land loss , desertification and some have died as a result.

Now many animals are becoming sick because of changes in temperature .
Vital links in the food chains are disapearing affecting other species further along in the chain .

We are witness to a mass exstinction ,for the first time since the dinosaurs.
Of the earth's estimated 10 million species, 300,000 have vanished in the past 50 years.
Each year, 3,000 to 30,000 species become extinct.

Everything is happening so fast it is not possible to monitor things any more.

The Sahara is growing by 7 kilometers a year.
Most of the desserts are as a results of mans actions.And they are increasing .In the dinosaurs days ,there were few desserts.

Collectively this planet is drying up .

Each degree rise in temperature means 10%crop loss

There is less and less water (because of deforestation),to irrigate Agriculture.

Arable lands and their farms are lost all over the globe. Many farmers sons abandon farming and head for the cities.

Northern China is drying up, what once were millions of food producing people, are now hungry refugees ,running for their lives from the all consuming dust storms.

This will have a great effect on world food prices when they start buying at what ever cost, to feed their people.

The farmers that are left have to feed some 70 million more people than the year before but with less topsoil(because of desertification and irreverible erosion)

Over the last half century,
Population growth & rising incomes have tripled world grain demand from 640 million tons to 1,855 million

In the near future the global farming community will not be able to feed every body ,food prices will continue to rise. .

RISING SEAS
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
This does not affect the sea level ,because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,and the Glaziers is potable water lost forever and rises the sea levels.

Are We responsible ?
Is it the Sun?
Is it God who wants to punish us?
Is it Gaia who wants to clean some parasitic infestation?
Is it a Natural cycle?

Who cares ? that is not important any more
WHAT IS important -is that we are gonna be in trouble

Answer 6

Obviously the evil capitalist on earth are polluting Mars with their greed just like they are here.

Answer 7

Since we don't inhabit Mars, I can't see that it is a problem!

Check out this and if you can get hold of it watch the documentary:

Answer 8

Yes there is global Warming. Maybe if Gore used his big ol head then maybe he can figure out it maybe caused by the sun.

Answer 9

Al Gore was there last month and gave 6 speeches

Answer 10

good question. an even greater one is how do you explain the lack of it, outside normal weather patterns, on Venus?
