Mars, on the other hand, has been studied, and there are indications that it is warming. However, I
would suggest from the indications we have, that it would be difficult to state the rate at which it is
warming, and impossible to state that the rate is the same as Earth's, as BAR did.

LOL!!

I'm just messin' with you. :)

Although it would seem there is some basis in fact on this solar cycle
thing.

Lawrence Solomon of the National/Financial Post did one hell of a
series on this whole thing called "The Deniers" including articles in
support of the main subject. It's very even and extremely fair. He's
shares my opinion in fact - yes, man does contribute to Global Warming
and yes, Greenhouse Gases exist. It more a question of what it does
to the climate and how is affects climate change - I'm in the camp
that there are physical/solar explanations as well as
historical/climatological/geological explanations as well. Solomon
was in the Global Warming camp until he started out actually looking
into the science and scientists. Here's a sample.

The simple truth is this - man does change and affect his environment.
Has since the first time humanoids began to walk upright.

However what is missing with the Global Warming contingent is a sense
of history and, to tell the truth, basic knowledge of science. That's
what you get when you elect lawyers who only took "Science for Liberal
Arts" in college. I mean think about Nancy Pelosi who said after
visiting Greeland "I have seen Global Warming". Has she never heard
of the Vikings who discovered Tibet and colonized Mexico and
established a trading colony in Greenland (around 960 CE)?

And think about this - there are, as of now, six different solar
cycles of varying lengths. Each of them affects the climate of the
Earth differently - there is sound, scientific proof of these changes
- some drastic, some minor.

Do we need to do something about smog and green house gas? Yes.

Is it the sole cause of climate change? Not even close.
