Layered deposits covering older, cratered surfaces near Mars' south pole dominate this image taken last month. The margin of these layered deposits appears to be eroding poleward, exposing a series of layers in the retreating cliff. It is one piece of a puzzle scientists are putting together on an apparently changing Martian climate.
An Inconvinient Truth!
We really need to get these Martians to stop driving their SUV's so much.
Well, you know whose fault this is...
Yeah, it's that dratted internal combustion engine at work again.
An ignored truth.
Why not, any weather changes that have happened on earth are directly caused by the sun as well, why not Mars?
Or does mars also have a methane, carbon dioxide problem, and a Martian AL GorP?
LOL
It's Americas fault!
The greenhouse emmissions from those Mars Landers are to blame.
Obviously we need a treaty, whereby America agrees to ground it's space program. Nobody else needs to - just America.
For the children.

I remember reading last year that the sun has become extremely active in the past 100 years or so. Energy output had been the highest recorded in the last century or so. The sun itself has not necessarily gotten hotter, but the energy it puts out has increased dramatically. That energy interacts with the atmosphere (i.e. northern lights) and can and does warm the atmosphere.
The global warming crowd always tends to ignore the biggest source of global warming there is: the sun.
It's like if the sun's making things hotter here it might be making things hotter there?
Manbearpig has been spotted on Mars! DAMN YOU MANBEARPIG!
I saw a pretty well done docu-detective sort of piece, might have been on the Discovery channel, a while ago.
The movie went to elaborate lengths, to basically prove that the dark ages were indeed dark, that the earth was plunged into a global tailspin of altered climate and famine - by the massive eruption somewhere around the year 600 was it? Of the Indonesian supervolcano Krakatau.
(I know it erupted bigtime in 1820 or so, but this was evidently a previous explosive eruption of the entire Krakatau caldera)
They even went so far as to posit, that the plague was able to take root in Europe in part, because of the altered and cooler climate.
If (and it seemed plausible) one volcano could alter the climate on earth so signficantly - would it not seem that "global warming" is temporary if it exists, and will likely be reversed by the next super volcano.
Even Pinatubo had an effect far beyond Luzon.
BTW: Krakatau is busy even now, rebuilding...
It's Bush's Fault
It's our fault for sending up all those Mars landers. They're worse than SUVs.
