Take a stab at telling us why Mars is heating up at the same rate as
Earth. Tell us how the Martians have increased the level of greenhouse
gases in the Martian atmosphere.
Apples and oranges. First, we don't know if Mars is warming. So, no one
can be sure of it's rate. Second, Mars' atmosphere *is* a greenhouse
gas, predominately carbon dioxide.
You can't look at the Earth without looking at the surrounding planets.
And you can't look at the surrounding planets without taking into
consideration their differences, only three have atmospheres, and the
duration of their orbits vary considerably.
I'm guessing that you think the Sun is to blame for our recent
temperature increase. I'd point out, the Sun is the second most studied
body in this Solar System.
Nah - not even close. I'd suspect more like, oh I don't know, not
even ranked.
Playboy models are probably the most studied bodies in this Solar
System.
