1. Man increases co2.
2. co2 causes global warming.
3. additional heat creates more clouds.
4. more clouds reflect more sunlight from Earth onto Mars, thereby causing the additional warming seen there.

the sun is getting older and hotter!!!!!!and the sun will blow up sooner or later. duh! and humans are less than 5% of the problem. global warming is just a natural phenomenon. who knows how many times earth has been through this

The warming on Mars is primarily due to two factors. The first is that, well, it's currently early Summer there, which raises the global mean temperature a bit. The other is a decrease in Martian dust storms (which have a net cooling effect) seen over the past few years.
Nevertheless, it's important to remember that there exists one connecting thread between Mars and Earth: The Sun. So if the climate changes on the two planets were related it would have to be due to changes in solar activity. Ignoring for a moment the fact that there has been no observed increase in solar output since at least the 1980's, when the warming on Earth has been the most rapid, and possibly the 1940's, there is no viable reason to suspect that changes in the sun are responsible. Think about this, if the sun was "getting hotter", we should expect to see changes in =all= the planets in the solar system. However, out of the nine planets and hundred or so moons here only three of them have shown any warming, all of which have documented and distinct causes. In fact, three of them have actually been =cooling= since reliable measurements have become available.

Let's cut straight to the chase. Any additional clouds have absolutely no effect on Mars. The moon is a lot closer and we have not been warming it at all, even after all these years.

The effect would be so miniscule as to be immeasurable.
The sun is a massive fireball emitting immense amounts of heat, what we receive is tiny, tiny proportion of this.
By comparison, the Earth gives off almost no heat at all and so the effect on a planet (which at it's closest is about the same distance as the sun) is going to be negligible.

No, C02 is a by-product of global warming and not the cause!
Look into the Milankovitch cycles and data extracted from the Vostok glacier:

Boom global warming in 70000 BC! Who caused that? Mammoths in hummers? HA!
