Planetary geologists have been puzzled by a strange paradox on Mars. Images of the planet show several shorelines where there much have once been ancient oceans on the Red Planet. But these shorelines vary in elevation by kilometres in some cases. How could the height of these shores change by such an amount? the answer: the planet tumbled in the past. Just like the Earth, Mars is wider around its equator than it is from pole to pole. At some point, several billion years ago, when the planet still had an ocean, it experienced a redistribution in its mass. Perhaps this came from a series of volcanic eruptions, such as the ones that created the Tharsis Bulge and Olympus Mons. This additional mass caused the planet to rebalance its spin, shifting its pole 50 degrees away from its position. Parts of the planet which were once at the poles were moved closer to the equator, This could explain the sea levels. ttp://www.universetoday.com/2007/06/13/more-evidence-for-an-ancient-ocean-on-mars

Soooooo what's your question? Are you just using this opportunity to mock people who accept the scientific evidence that humans are the primary cause the current global warming? If so, why? Mars has nothing to do with global warming on Earth.

I think this is far fetched. It is more plausible that SUV's caused the global warming and all of the water evaporated. The shift in the levels was done by the Martians in denial (who drove the SUVs) to cover up their actions.

Please, don't try to make sagent points about global climate change to the Al Gore worshippers. They worship Al Gore for Christ's sakes! They are not going to listen to reason or look past the time that Al invented the internet! Just stop!

The Martians made too many Martinis and pissed it all away.
Will we make the same mistake?

Yes there is a worm hole just off the earths atmosphere and it sucks our greenhouse gases off the earth and puts it to mars.
It makes more sense than anthing owlgore sez
