Must have been those Martian SUV's

Dried up riverbeds and other evidence imply that Mars once had enough water to fill a global ocean more than 600 metres deep, together with a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide that kept the planet warm enough for the water to be liquid. But the planet is now very dry and has a thin atmosphere.
Mars once had it all. Carbon dioxide. Global warmth. Deep oceans. Then Democrats evolved and took away their global warming and now all that's left is dry rot. (Sort of like Pelosi's face.)

All one need to is look thru their home telescope and see those huge water tanks taking up space on Mars. You would think that they would move them out of the neighborhood. Or maybe those are CO2 tanks collecting all our greenhouse gases. /s

Maybe they had global cooling.

Pelosi is definitely straight out of the movie: Mars Attacks!

They did in a sense. The core cooled, stopped spinning, the planet lost its magnetosphere, and without it the atmosphere fell victim to the sun's rays.

Time for side-by-side comparisons of the face at Cydonia and the Pelosi specter ...

Nice picture.
Let's move there and leave the liberals here.

"Either some other process removed the water and CO2 or they are still present and hidden somewhere on Mars, probably underground, Barabash says."
Maybe someone came by and "stripmined" the planet's biosphere?

Mars lost its atmosphere, including anything that evaporated off the surface, when it lost its magnetic field. That allowed the solar wind to whip to the surface and slowly carry away everything that wasn't nailed down.
How did Mars lose its magnetic field? Being half the size of Earth, their iron core cooled and hardened. Without a liquid core, no iron rotation, hence no magnetic field.

Here's another theory.....
Martian citizen were told all the CO2 in the atmosphere was causing 'Global Warming', and something must be done about it NOW.....
They all agreed and worked vigilantly to reduce CO2 levels and cool their world.....
and it worked.

Earth's mag field is generated by the atmosphere. Mars has next to no atmosphere and especially no water vapor. No water vapor, no magnetosphere.

I saw that in the theater as a kid. It was one of my favorites. They re-used those cool space ship models from War of the Worlds.
